Abstract
A waterproof electrical connector assembly includes: an insulative housing; plural contacts retained to the housing; a metallic shield secured to the housing; an insulative cover enclosing the shield to define a rear chamber; a substrate connected to the contacts and having an edge portion, the edge portion extending forwardly into the rear chamber; and a sealing member filling the rear chamber. A method for manufacturing such a waterproof electrical connector assembly includes: mounting a metallic shield to a combined insulative housing and electrical contacts; connecting a substrate to the electrical contacts; enclosing an insulative cover over the shield and an edge portion of the substrate to define a chamber; and sealing the chamber.
