Problems solved by technology

However, the shape of the Serial ATA connector makes it difficult to use overmolding technology
Also, a potential problem associated with the use of overmolding techniques in electrical connector receptacles is the problem of flash blow by into the receiving area intended to receive the mating connector
Flash leaks may block a portion of the receiving area, thereby creating a defective electrical connector

Abstract

An electrical connector with overmold and snap lock comprising a contact wafer having at least one electrical contact connected to a first housing piece; a second housing piece having a contact wafer receiving area with snap lock latching surfaces, and a third housing piece overmolded onto rear ends of the first and second housing pieces. The first housing piece is snap lock inserted into the contact wafer receiving area and forms a seal between the first and second housing pieces. The seal between the first and second housing pieces substantially prevents flash blow by between the first and second housing pieces of material that forms the third housing piece as the third housing piece is overmolded onto the first and second housing pieces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly, to an electrical connector with overmolded and latch elements. Background technique [0002] US Patent No. 6,200,171 discloses an electrical connector with an overmolded housing member. The electrical contacts are inserted into a first housing part, and a second housing part is then molded onto the first housing part and the electrical contacts. US Patent No. 5,926,952 discloses overmolding a housing member onto a premolded connector structure. Electrical connector is also known in the prior art, as by ECI USA, Inc.of Etters, Pennsylvania sells ModJackTM electrical connector under part number 66467-001, and it comprises a first housing member with a The first subassembly and the electrical contacts are fixedly inserted into a receiving area of ​​a second housing part. Also known in the prior art is an electrical connector known as the Serial ATA connector, which is common...
