Abstract
The electrical connector includes an insulating housing, for receiving at least one electrical contact terminal connected to a cable, wherein at least one terminal accommodating chamber is formed, said insulating housing including a front face intended to mate with a counterpart connector, and a rear wall provided with a rear slot for introducing each terminal in the respective chamber. It further including a sealing deformable material facing the rear wall, and a press for pressing the sealing deformable material against the rear wall. The press comprises a flap connected to the housing so as to be able to rotate between an open position in which access to the rear slot is allowed, and a closed position in which the flap presses the sealing deformable material against the rear wall, so that the sealing deformable material deforms in order to sealingly close the rear slot and come into contact with the cable when it is inserted.
