Abstract
A connector assembly includes a metal terminal, a lead wire, a connector housing and a sealing member. The metal terminal defines a longitudinal direction. The metal terminal comprises: a lead-wire connection portion located on a front end side; a counterpart connection portion located on a rear end side; and a press-fit portion located between the lead-wire connection portion and the counterpart connection portion. The press-fit portion comprises a curved portion which curves around an imaginary axis extending in the longitudinal direction. The lead wire comprises an end portion connected to the lead-wire connection portion of the metal terminal and comprising an outer circumferential surface. The connector housing comprises a press-fit hole having a wall surface. The press-fit portion of the metal terminal is press-fit into the press-fit hole. The sealing member provides a seal between the outer circumferential surface of the lead wire and the wall surface of the press-fit hole.
