Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to multi-contact connectors with an improved sealing arrangement that can provide reliable sealing against environmental influences, even for very thin cables and densely arranged contacts, and a corresponding manufacturing method. The sealing arrangement includes a block seal with a plurality of relatively large openings for receiving the contacts and the corresponding cables. Prior to inserting the contacts into a housing of the connector and through the respective openings in the block seal, each contact is individually fitted with a cable seal. Each cable seal has a through hole into which the cable is inserted and an outer shape that fits tightly into the respective opening of the block seal. Using such a combination of two sealing components facilitates the use of small insulation diameter cables with existing contacts and housings, thereby maintaining maximum contact pitch density.
