Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sealed electrical wire harness includes the steps of providing an equipped connector housing with electrical terminals inserted within the equipped connector housing and with electrical wires attached and electrically connected to the electrical terminals, providing an injection molding tool suitable for injecting sealing material, placing the equipped connector housing into the injection molding tool, closing the injection molding tool, filling the equipped connector housing with sealing material, thereby distributing the sealing material inside the equipped connector housing to a wire inlet portion, a connector position assurance holder portion, and an interface portion, and removing the sealed electrical wire harness from the injection molding tool.

Abstract: An sealed electrical connector includes a connector housing having a wire inlet portion, a connector position assurance holder portion, and an interface portion. An electrical terminal is located and electrically connected to an electrical wire inside an internal cavity that is located central inside the connector housing. The internal cavity extends into the interface portion. The electrical wire extends to outside the connector housing passing the wire inlet portion that is located between the internal cavity and the outside of the connector housing. The connector also includes a flexible sealing member that is configured to seal the internal cavity when the electrical connector is electrically connected to a mating counter connector and when a connector position assurance device is activated in the connector position assurance holder portion to mechanically lock the electrical connector to the counter connector. The flexible sealing member is made in one piece.

Abstract: A header connector comprising a frame for receiving an interface portion. The header connector comprises at least two interface portions. Each interface portion comprises a side wall portion that protrudes inwards into the frame opposite to the mating direction. The side wall portion has an outer side wall surface and an opposing inner side wall surface. A lock protrusion transversely protrudes away from the outer side wall surface into the frame perpendicular to the mating direction. The frame comprises an interior undercut space at least partly defined by the bottom wall and the inner side wall surface. The interior undercut space is occupied by a portion of the frame, preferably by means of over molding.
