Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of passageways, a plurality of blade type contacts retained to the retaining grooves in the corresponding passageways, a spacer located in a rear receiving space of the housing with corresponding slits through which tails of the contacts rearwardly extend, and a plurality of wires having the inner conductors soldered upon the tails of the contacts behind the spacer. A waterproof glue plate fills the receiving space of the housing to enclose the exposed inner conductors and the corresponding tails. A plurality of passages are formed in one side of the peripheral wall, through which the wires extend in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction along which the contacts extend. The spacer forms a recess to receive a protrusion of the glue plate, and the protrusion is located adjacent to the passages for assuring sealing around said passages.
