Abstract (en)
An electrical connector comprises a housing (12) and a wire (22) extending into the housing (12), the housing (12) comprising a first housing part (14) and a second housing part (18) movable relative to each other between a pre-assembled position and an assembled position along a longitudinal axis (L) of the wire (22). The electrical connector further comprises a first sealing and strain relief structure (30) comprising a housing bevel (26) formed by the first housing part (14) and defining a receptacle (26a) accommodating the wire (22) and a sealing element (34) positioned around the wire (22), a wire inlet (16) arranged in the first housing part (14) and leading into the receptacle (26a), and a positioning means (38) securing the wire (22) in the assembled position and comprising a clamping element (40) positioned around the wire (22) adjacent to the sealing element (34) on a side opposite from the wire inlet (16). Upon a relative movement of the first and second housing parts (14, 18) from the pre-assembled into the assembled position, the sealing element (34) is pressed against the housing bevel (26) and the clamping element (40) is pressed radially inward against the wire (22).
