  • Publication number: 20200194926
    Abstract: In an electric connector, a waterproof member having an internal waterproof portion and an external waterproof portion is provided in a main body portion. The internal waterproof portion and the external waterproof portion are integrated. Accordingly, the internal waterproof portion covers exposed portions of an upper contact and a lower contact and prevents water intrusion along the upper contact and the lower contact. In addition, the external waterproof portion prevents water intrusion between the electric connector and an inner wall of an accommodating space of an electronic device by surrounding the entire circumference of the main body portion. Since the internal waterproof portion and the external waterproof portion are integrated in this manner, both internal waterproofing and external waterproofing can be realized with the simple configuration of the single waterproof member in the electric connector.
