  • Connector with terminals having anti-wicking gel
    Patent number: 5588885
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing and terminals mounted therein, the terminals comprising contact tails for soldered connection to a printed circuit board. The contact tails have sealing material deposited thereon for sealing between the contact tail and housing to prevent solder and flux wicking onto contact sections of the terminals. The concept also advantageously provides sealing of the connector from the environment, whilst using minimal quantities of sealing material and having very small sealing surfaces for increased reliability thereof.
