ABSTRACT:
The electrical connector (2) is a sealed electrical connector including terminals (4) located in two rows in a connector housing (6). In addition to the terminals (4) and the housing (6), the connector (2) also includes a wire seal cap (8) that is mounted on the rear of the housing (6). The cap (8) includes a latch (10). A wire seal (12) is positioned between the rear face of the connector housing (6) and the wire seal cap (8). A ring seal (14) maintains sealing integrity between the sealed electrical connector (2) and a mating connector or tab connector (16). The wire seal (12) engages wires (18) attached to the terminals (4) at the rear of the connector (2). The connector housing also includes a shroud (20) through which the latch (10) extends, and the latch (10) engages the mating connector (16) to latch the two connectors in mating engagement. Since the latch (10) is molded as part of the seal cap (8) and not part of the housing (6), the height of the shroud (20), beneath which the shroud extends, can be reduced so that the overall height of the connector is less than for a conventionally shrouded connector.
