  • Patent number: 8979582
    Abstract: The present invention provides a connector, which may comprise a terminal fitting, a connector housing having a terminal receiving chamber in which the terminal fitting is at least partly disposed, and a waterproof body formed of thermoplastic elastomer composition. The thermoplastic elastomer composition may comprise (A) styrene-based elastomer component and (B) syndiotactic polystyrene-based polymer component. (A) Styrene-based elastomer component may comprise (A1) acid-modified styrene-based elastomer and (A2) unmodified styrene-based elastomer. The mass ratio of (A1) acid-modified styrene-based elastomer to the sum of (A1) acid-modified styrene-based elastomer, and (A2) unmodified styrene-based elastomer (A1/(A1+A2)) may be from 0.9 to 0.1. The mass ratio of the (A) styrene-based elastomer component to (B) syndiotactic polystyrene-based polymer component may be from 60:40 to 90:10.
