Abstract
The present invention provides a waterproof electrical connector assembly which is molded in two separate processes. Pluralities of respective projections 42, 48 protrude from surfaces 45, 46 of an inner housing 44 which has contacts 20, 30 so that a contact assembly 40 is formed. Contact assembly 40 is placed in a mold and positioned so that the tip ends of the projections 42, 48 substantially engage inside surfaces of the mold; afterward, an outer housing is molded to a thickness which is substantially the same as the height of the projections 42, 48.
