ABSTRACT:
A water-resistant electrical connector includes a housing having at least one cavity dedicated to receive a terminal fixture and at least one cavity which is configured to prevent a terminal fixture from being inserted therein. Although both of the cavities are open at opposite ends of the housing, a wall closes up the cavity which is not to receive a terminal fixture constituting an electric circuit. This wall presents water from passing through the cavity from one side of the housing to the other. A fin also extends across this cavity from an open end of the cavity to the wall to thereby prevent a terminal fixture from being inserted in the cavity and into contact with the wall. A molding system can manufacture connector housings having various combinations of the cavities configured to receive a terminal fixture and cavities which prevent a terminal fixture from being inserted therein. The molding system includes a fixed mold, a movable mold, and pairs of mold pins which are detachably mountable to the molds. One pair of the mold pins will form a cavity configured to receive a terminal fixture while another pair of the mold pins will form a cavity which will prevent a terminal fixture from being inserted therein. The respective pairs of mold pins are interchangeable so that the same molds can be used to manufacture various types of housings depending on the circuit to which the connector is applied.
