ABSTRACT:
A connector can easily and reliably be checked to see whether the requisite minimum quantity of sealing compound has been injected. Tabs 14 of male terminal fittings 13 protrude from a base face of a fitting space 12. A sealing compound 20, consisting of epoxy resin or the like, is injected at the base portion of these tabs 14. A first step 15 and a second step 30 protrude into the space 12, the first step 15 being above the second step 30. After the sealing compound 20 is injected, the quantity injected is checked by observing the space 12 visually from above. If only the first step 15 is visible, the correct quantity of sealing compound 20 has been injected, if both the first step 15 and the second step 30 are visible, a quantity of the sealing compound 20 less than the minimum quantity has been injected.
