Abstract
An electrical connector includes: a terminal module including an insulative housing and a number of terminals insert molded with the housing, the housing including a base and a tongue extending forwardly from the base; a metallic shield enclosing the terminal module; and a sealing member positioned in front of the base and sealed between the terminal module and the shield. A related method of making includes: enclosing a metallic shield about a terminal module; inserting a terminal protector into a front mating port of the shield and module combination until abutting a part of the terminal module; and applying a sealing material via the front mating port into a space defined between the terminal module and the shield to form a sealing member.
