Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a connector terminal and a connector including the connector terminal. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, an oil-resistant through-cylinder part (for example, the terminal of a connector) mainly achieves the oil-resistant sealing requirement through insert injection molding followed by potting. However, the potting sealing process is relatively complex, requiring dispensing, vacuum degassing, long-time heat curing, etc. The process equipment cost is high and the single-product production cycle is relatively long.

[0003] In order to overcome the defects of potting sealing, in the prior art, a technical solution has been proposed to use a coating pre-coated on the terminal to achieve the sealed combination between the housing and the terminal. However, in actual application, during the process of injection molding the housing, the coating pre-coated on the terminal will shift during the injection of the plastic, resulting in an unreliable sealed combination between the terminal and the housing and causing an oil leakage problem.

[0004] In this article, coating shift means that during the injection molding of the plastic housing, the coating on the terminal will move under the scouring of the flowing injection material. For example, it moves from the part of the terminal that needs to be sealed to the part that does not need to be sealed. This will result in an unreliable sealed combination between the terminal and the housing, and there is still a leakage problem. Summary of the Invention
