Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulation body that includes a base and a waterproof unit, and a plurality of conductive terminals. The base includes a terminal-holding portion and a board portion that has front and rear faces. The terminal-holding portion has first and second contact faces disposed outward of the front and rear faces, respectively. The waterproof unit includes a first sealing portion that protrudes from the front face and that surrounds the terminal-holding portion, and a second sealing portion that protrudes from the rear face and that is disposed along a periphery of the rear face. Each of the conductive terminals has first and second conducting portions respectively disposed on the first and second contact faces.
Claims6
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a main body and a cover;
- and
- an electric connector including
- an insulation body that includes a base and a waterproof unit, said base including a board portion and a terminal-holding portion that are formed as one piece, said board portion including a front face and a rear face, said terminal-holding portion including a first contact face that is disposed outward of said front face and a second contact face that is disposed outward of said rear face, said waterproof unit including a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion that are made of a resilient material, said first sealing portion protruding from said front face and surrounding said terminal-holding portion, said second sealing portion protruding from said rear face and being disposed along a periphery of said rear face, and
- a plurality of conductive terminals that are spacedly disposed on said terminal-holding portion, each of said conductive terminals having a first conducting portion that is disposed on said first contact face and a second conducting portion that is disposed on said second contact face;
- wherein said main body has a cavity that receives said electrical connector therein, and a carrier face that is disposed in said cavity, that faces said cover and that supports said board portion of said insulation body;
- wherein said cover covers said cavity and has a window that corresponds to said terminal-holding portion to expose said first contact face and said first conducting portions of said conductive terminals;
- and
- wherein said first sealing portion abuts watertightly against an inner side of said cover and is immediately adjacent to said window, and said second sealing portion abuts watertightly against said carrier face.
