ABSTRACT:
A watertight type shielded connector includes a housing assembly and a terminal assembly. The housing assembly includes a housing and a shield element molded integrally with the housing. The terminal assembly includes a resilient plug fitted over the sheath of a shielding wire. The shielding wire has a distal end thereof connected to a terminal. The terminal assembly also includes a conductor in electrical contact with the shielding material of the shielding wire. Upon inserting the terminal assembly into the housing assembly, the conductor electrically engages the shield element of the housing assembly so that the conductor establishes electric continuity between the shield element of the housing assembly and the shielding material of the terminal assembly while at the same time the plug fits to the fitting bore of the housing assembly so that the terminal assembly engages the housing assembly in a watertight relation. The shield element of the housing assembly serves to shield the terminal. The plug is formed with a first projection extending all around the outer surface of the plug to form a closed loop and a second projection extending all around the inner surface of the plug to form a closed loop, the first projection fitting to the fitting bore of the housing assembly and the second projection fitting over the sheath of the shielding wire. The plug and conductor may take the form of a single component made of a conductive rubber.
