An injection-molded support has a contact chamber adapted to receive a contact partner, a fixed seal part, a movable seal part shiftable relative to the fixed seal between an open position spaced therefrom and a closed position closely juxtaposed therewith, and a break point holding the movable seal part in the open position and frangible for movement of the movable seal part into the closed position. A cable end fitted between the seal parts into the chamber is clamped when the movable seal part is then moved from the open into the closed position with rupturing of the break element and is held in form-fitting clamping engagement of the cable end between the seal parts. Finally the cable end is overmolded with molding compound to the contact body outside the contact chamber while blocking entry of the compound by the seal parts into the contact chamber.

A cable enclosure including a main portion, a multi-cable terminal secured to the main portion, and a sealing assembly for accommodating at least one cable portion and for providing a watertight seal between the sealing assembly and the at least one cable portion and between the sealing assembly and the main portion.

The seal spring of the present invention has a dual functionality. The seal spring provides both a sealing property and spring function in use within an electrical connector system, which is accomplished by its elastomeric qualities, The seal spring is preferably comprised of Silicone, EPDM rubber or materials and compositions that provide similar performance during use, or the like. The seal spring of the present invention is not limited or defined into a spring section or a seal section by its geometry. Shown is an implementation of the seal spring within a conductive female housing and connector assembly. The seal spring compresses and provides adequate spring force against a disk ferrule assembly, pressing the disk ferrule assembly, with a wire shield, against a conductive female outer housing, providing a grounding scheme for the connector assembly. The seal spring also seals against the female outer housing and a wire.

At least one of a housing and a pressing member has an inner peripheral surface to be held in close contact with an outer peripheral surface of a sealing member. The sealing member includes a sealing hole a cable being passed through the sealing hole, and recesses located closer to the outer peripheral surface than the sealing hole and open in at least one of the front and rear surfaces. At least one of the housing and the pressing member includes projections. If, out of an inner wall of the recess, a part located on the side of the outer peripheral surface is an outer lateral part and a part located on the side of the sealing hole s an inner lateral part, a clearance is formed between the projection and the inner lateral part and the projection is arranged in contact with the outer lateral part in the recess.

In a structure in which a cable is installed into a connector is provided. A back retainer is arranged in a compressed state between an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion, included in a connector body and extending in the axis line direction, and an outer circumferential surface of the cable. The back retainer includes a main annular portion which is configured such that a compression amount on the back retainer in the radial direction centered on the axis line direction gradually increases as the compression amount goes from one side toward the other side. The back retainer includes an engaging protrusion configured to prevent the back retainer from detaching from the cylindrical portion on an outer circumferential surface of the back retainer.

The present disclosure relates to a connecting element for electrical connecting two electrical modules arranged in a transmitter housing of a field device, into which transmitter housing the connecting element is insertable, the connecting element including: at least two essentially rod-shaped metal conductor elements, each with two opposing end sections, wherein the conductor elements are arranged in a defined separation relative to one another; and surrounding the conductor elements and electrically insulating them from one another, a multi-membered insulating body including two insulating body end segments of at least a first synthetic material and an insulating body intermediate segment of a second synthetic material different from the first synthetic material, wherein the first synthetic material has a modulus of elasticity greater than a modulus of elasticity of the second synthetic material.

A shield connector includes: a housing that holds a terminal; a seal member; a holder coupled to the housing along an axial direction of the housing to support the seal member; and a shell, in which the shell has a protruding portion protruding inward from an inner wall surface of the shell, the holder has an engagement piece extending along the axial direction, and is locked by the shell by engaging the engagement piece with the protruding portion, the protruding portion has a locking surface that locks the engagement piece, and the locking surface is a surface facing an insertion direction in which the holder is inserted into the shell, and is an inclined surface toward the insertion direction as the locking surface extends toward a tip of the protruding portion in a protruding direction.

A molding method of a waterproof member is provided. The waterproof member is molded by molds and is for a coated electric wire. The molds include mold division surfaces including molding portions and electric wire mold clamping portions. The electric wire mold clamping portions are to sandwich the coated electric wire at sides of the molding portions. One of the electric wire mold clamping portions includes a convex portion and a side wall erected on an end of the convex portion. The other of the electric wire mold clamping portions includes a concave portion. One of the molding portions includes a side wall entering groove into which the side wall enters. The method includes molding the waterproof member accommodated in the concave portion with the waterproof member being pressed by the convex portion toward a direction in which one of the mold is attached to the other.

A lock portion (19) projects on an outer surface of a receptacle (12). A housing (61) is fit into the receptacle (12). A lock arm (77) deflectably and deformably projects on an outer surface of the housing (61). The lock arm (77) locks the lock portion (19) while being in contact with an outer surface on an opening end side of the receptacle (12). A tip-side restricting portion (31) configured to come into contact with or proximately face a tip part (88) of the lock arm (77) is provided on the outer surface of the receptacle (12). A sealing member (90) is held in close contact with an inner surface on the opening end side of the receptacle (12).

A connector 10 includes a terminal fitting 11, a housing 12, a seal member 13 and a mounting member 14. The terminal fitting 11 is connected to a wire 80. The seal member 13 includes a seal hole 52 through which the wire 80 is passed in a liquid-tight manner. The mounting member 14 holds the seal member 13 by sandwiching the seal member 13 between the housing 12 and the mounting member 14. The mounting member 14 is in contact with the seal member 13 and movably mounted on the housing 12.
