Abstract
A sealed electrical connector includes a housing having a terminal-fixing portion, a mating portion for connecting to a counterpart connector and a partition wall therebetween. Contact terminals are fixed into a terminal holder with contact portions protruding out of the terminal holder. The terminal holder is disposed in the terminal-fixing portion. A grommet is placed between the terminal holder and the partition wall. The contact portions extend to the mating portion through the partition wall and the grommet. Molten resin is injected into the terminal holder and fix and seal the contact terminals in the terminal holder. The grommet prevents the resin from leaking into the mating portion through the partition wall. Each contact terminal has a support bracket fixed thereon which supports the terminal in the terminal holder before resin injection. The support bracket allows contact terminals of difference dimension to be fitted and sealed in the housing.
