[0024] Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth for ease of explanation to provide a full understanding of the embodiments disclosed herein. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and apparatuses are illustrated to simplify the figures.

[0025] Typically, after the housing of an electrical connector is assembled, the sealing ring is compressed, generating a pressure exceeding 1000N. After prolonged use, deformation of the plastic parts due to high-temperature aging is inevitable. To ensure consistent performance of the product in both the initial and final states of high-temperature aging, a metal reinforcement is added to the sealing ring area to strengthen its structural integrity.

[0026] According to the overall concept of this utility model, a connector housing with a sealing ring reinforcement is provided, including an elastic body, the elastic body including a sealing ring receiving portion, wherein the sealing ring reinforcement is provided at a position opposite to the sealing ring receiving portion of the elastic body, and the sealing ring reinforcement is integrally formed with the elastic body to maintain the shape of the sealing ring receiving portion of the elastic body.

With these through holes 210 provided, when the sealing ring reinforcement 200 is molded into the elastic body 110, the material of the elastic body 110 flows into the through holes 210, thereby making the sealing ring reinforcement 200 more firmly fixed in the elastic body 110.

[0035] As shown in the figure, flanges 220 are respectively provided on the outer and inner circumferences of the sealing ring reinforcement 200.

[0036] Alternatively, it can be envisioned that the sealing ring reinforcement 200 is provided with reinforcing ribs, which extend along the length direction of the sealing ring reinforcement 200.

[0037] The sealing ring receiving portion 111 of the elastic body 110 is a groove 111a, and the sealing ring reinforcement 200 is disposed below the bottom of the groove 111a.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sealing ring 300 has a rectangular frame shape, and the sealing ring reinforcement 200 has the same rectangular frame shape as the sealing ring 300.

[0039] Figure 5 This is an assembly perspective view of the connector according to this utility model; Figure 6 This is an exploded perspective view of the connector according to the present invention.

[0041] The sealing ring 300 is fixed in the sealing ring receiving portion 111 of the first connector housing 410.

[0042] Optionally, the sealing ring 300 is fixed to the second connector housing 420.

[0043] The advantages of the connector housing according to this utility model are that the connector housing with sealing ring reinforcement has a metal reinforcement formed in the sealing ring area. Molding the metal reinforcement into the plastic strengthens the plastic structure of the sealing ring area and simultaneously inhibits and improves warping deformation of the plastic after high-temperature aging.
