Electrical connector with tapered inner wall for sealing member
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11996647B2) discloses an innovative electrical connector design. The connector comprises a housing with a recess, a projection, and multiple terminal passageways. The inner walls of these passageways are tapered to accommodate a sealing member, which can move between different configurations. The housing and sealing member are made of materials with varying flexibility levels, enhancing the connector's performance. Additionally, the connector features a unique configuration where the inner walls have different inside diameters and taper along their lengths, providing a secure fit for the sealing member.
Furthermore, the patent details specific dimensions and angles within the connector design, such as the distances between various components and the angles at which different portions of the inner walls meet. These precise measurements ensure optimal functionality and reliability of the electrical connector. The connector's construction allows for efficient sealing and secure connections, making it a valuable innovation in the field of electrical connectors.
