Patent number: 9847595Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, first glue recess, and a first texture region. The metallic shell circularly encloses the insulated housing. The first and second receptacle terminals are held in the insulated housing. The first texture region is annularly formed on an inner wall of the metallic shell and corresponds to a periphery of the outer wall of the insulated housing. Therefore, the sealing member can attach onto the first texture region efficiently. Therefore, the sealing member does not overflow to the front portion of the receptacle cavity, and the inner gap can be sealed by the sealing member properly. Hence, the first texture region allows the sealing member to attach onto the inner wall of the shell body, and the sealing member can cover the inner gap completely to provide a reliable waterproof performance.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Advanced-Connectek Inc.Inventors: Yu-Lun Tsai, Pin-Yuan Hou, Chung-Fu Liao, Rui Su, Dong Xiang, Long-Fei Chen, Yun-Jhong Wong
