Abstract

Provided is a waterproof connector, including an inner insulating housing, a plurality of electrical contacts, an inner metal shell, a sealing plate, an outer insulating housing, an outer metal shell and a waterproof rubber ring. The inner metal shell is pressed to form a plurality of holding blocks and two holes. The sealing plate includes a connecting plate and two closing plates for covering the corresponding hole. The outer insulating housing is integrally formed with the inner insulating housing, the electrical contacts, the inner metal shell and the sealing plate by insert molding. The waterproof rubber ring encompasses a front end of the inner metal shell. The outer insulating housing can seal off the gaps between the sealing plate and the inner metal shell, and between the inner insulating housing and the inner metal shell. The present waterproof connector can satisfy the waterproof demand by the waterproof rubber ring.
