Abstract
An electrical connector comprises: an insulative housing and a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a base portion and a mating tongue. The mating tongue comprises a stepped portion extending from the base portion and a tongue portion extending from the stepped portion. The insulative housing defines an outer periphery. The stepped portion defines a front face. The base portion defines a rear face. The terminal defines a connecting portion buried in the base portion and the stepped portion, a contacting portion extending from the connecting portion. The insulative housing defines a sealing member filling in the periphery of the connecting portion. The sealing member not extends out the front face of the stepped portion, the rear face of the base portion and the out periphery of the insulative housing. It is favorable for improving the waterproof effect of the electric connector.
