Claim 0:
1. A sealed cable connector (10), comprising:
a plurality of electric cables (18, 20);
an electrically insulating housing (12) having a connection portion that is pluggable and unpluggable in a x-direction to and from a mating connector;
a plurality of electrical terminals (14, 16) that are mechanically connecting to the housing (12), each of the electrical terminals (14, 16) having an end portion that is electrically connected to an end portion of a corresponding electric cable (18, 20);
the housing (12) having a frame (22) forming a cavity (22a) that extends in a z-direction and is delimited by the housing (12) in the x-direction and a y-direction, whereas the y-direction extends perpendicular to the x-direction and whereas the z-direction extends perpendicular the x-direction and the y-direction, wherein connected end portions of the electric cables (18, 20) and the electrical terminals (14, 16) are provided within in the cavity (22a) of the frame (22);
wherein, the electrical terminals (14, 16) have a planar shape in the cavity (22a) and are oriented in the x-direction and the z-direction,
the housing (12) is molded onto the connected electric cables (18, 20) and the electrical terminals (14, 16),
an electrically isolating material is injected into the cavity (22a) to seal the connected end portions of the electric cables (18, 20) and the electrical terminals (14, 16), and
an upper cover (26) and a lower cover are respectively fixed to two opposite sides of the frame (22) to close the cavity (22a), the upper cover (26) having an injection hole for injecting the electrically isolating material into the cavity (22a) and an air outlet hole.
