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 an outer housing and connector assembly. The seal spring compresses and provides adequate spring force against a tab or tabs within the outer housing. The seal spring also functions as an interface seal and an environmental seal during use. The seal spring is, substantially, in its entirety, of a contiguous and continuous single construction. No part or section of the seal spring is made up of welded, soldered, or brazen part or section.

A connector device includes a connector housing having a terminal accommodating chamber, a terminal configured to be accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber, an electric wire configured to be connected to the terminal, a corrosion-proof material to be disposed at a position facing the terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber and a corrosion-proof target portion of the electric wire, and a corrosion-proof material support portion retaining the corrosion-proof material above the connector housing such that the corrosion-proof material can be moved toward the corrosion-proof target portion. A melting point of the corrosion-proof material is set to be lower than a melting point of a material forming the connector housing, and the corrosion-proof material is configured to be melted and then cured while covering the corrosion-proof target portion.

A shielded connector includes a housing having a front opening portion and an electric wire insertion portion, a terminal to be accommodated in a terminal accommodating portion of the housing and to be connected to a mating terminal, a connection terminal to be connected to an electric wire, a first shielding shell to cover a rear surface of the housing, a second shielding shell having a braid connection portion and a shell fixing portion to be connected to the first shielding shell, a first fastening member to fasten the housing to the first shielding shell, a second fastening member to fasten the connection terminal to the terminal, and a third fastening member to fasten the shell fixing portion to the first shielding shell. The first, second and third fastening members have fastening directions parallel to each other, and are fastened from a front surface side of the housing.

An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing defining a cylindrical terminal cavity, an electrical terminal having a cylindrical portion, and an electrical terminal seal. The electrical terminal seal includes a base formed of a compliant material and a cylindrical protrusion integrally formed with the base and extending from a major surface of the base. The electrical terminal seal defines a cylindrical aperture extending through the protrusion. The protrusion includes a first circumferential rib that is integrally formed with the protrusion. The first circumferential rib extends into the aperture from an inner surface of the protrusion.

A terminal equipped electric wire includes an electric wire including: a conductor and an insulating sheath covering the conductor, a part of the conductor extending out of an end portion of the insulating sheath being an exposed portion, a terminal fitting having an electric wire connection portion at a rear side of the terminal fitting, the electric wire connection portion being connected to the exposed portion, a water stop shrinkable tube covering the electric wire connection portion connected to the exposed portion in a watertight manner, a sensor disposed on an outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube, the sensor contacting the outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube and a sensor fixing shrinkable tube covering and fixing the sensor on the outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube.
