Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and an apparatus for providing a high efficiency seal in an electrical connector. The seal provides an impediment to the passage of fluid at one end of the electrical connector to the environment at the other end of the electrical connector. The electrical connector may be incorporated into an over-mold that contains other components. The electrical connector achieves the highly efficient seal through a combination of a dual torturous path design, incorporation of melt ribs, and may further involve the technique of impregnation.

Abstract: An electrical connector including an electrical contact and an overmolded housing. The electrical contact includes an electrically conductive substrate of an alloy material and at least one sealing coating on a first section of the substrate. The sealing coating includes chromium and/or zinc. The overmolded electrical connector housing is overmolded onto at least a portion of the first section on the sealing coating. The sealing coating prevents a passage from forming at a joint between the contact and the overmolded housing for preventing flow of vapor through the joint.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for providing a high efficiency seal in an electrical connector. The seal prevents the transmission or migration of components in the environment at one end of the electrical connector to the environment at the other end of the electrical connector. The electrical connector may be incorporated into an over-mold that contains other components. The electrical connector achieves the highly efficient seal through a combination of torturous path design, the incorporation of melt ribs, and may further involve the technique of impregnation.
