Abstract:
A packing-integrated type connector comprising;a connector housing including contact terminals, a vent hole at a first end portion and a waterproof packing having a circumferential seal lip portion adjacent to a second end portion, wherein when said connector housing is placed in a mold, a gap is formed between the housing and the mold, the mold having a short preventing rib to form said packing with a thin-walled portion therein, wherein said thin-walled portion is formed between said seal lip portion and said vent hole, said thin-walled portion extending in an axial direction of said connector housing, and wherein a resistance of flow of a fluid silicon packing material toward said vent hole is increased when said fluid silicon packing material passes through a narrow gap defining by said rib, thereby allowing said packing material to be reliably filled in said seal lip portion.
