Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector 22 includes a housing 31, a plate 32, a plurality of terminals 33 and a potting material 34. The housing 31 is formed by insert molding with the plate 32 and the plurality of terminals 33 as cores. The housing 31 includes a separation wall 31b held in close contact with a first surface 32a of the plate 32, and this separation wall 31b is held in close contact with side surfaces of the terminals 33.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A connector, comprising: a plate having a first surface and a second surface spaced apart in a connecting direction and a side surface extending continuously between the first and second surfaces; terminals press-fit through the plate to penetrate through the plate in the connecting direction; a housing formed of a first material by insert molding with the plate and the terminals as cores, the housing having a receptacle with at least one inner peripheral wall extending in the connecting direction and a separation wall normal to the inner peripheral wall, the inner peripheral wall entirely covering a side surface of the plate and the separation wall entirely covering the first surface of the plate; and a potting material filled into the housing to entirely cover the second surface of the plate, the potting material being a second material different from the first material. 2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a fixing portion to be fit into a mounting hole, a mounting groove formed over an entire circumference on an outer side surface of the fixing portion and a seal ring disposed in the mounting groove.
