Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness connectors, specifically a wire harness connector with a waterproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] Wire harness connectors are key components used to achieve electrical connections and are widely used in automotive, electronics, and communications industries. They integrate multiple wires into a bundle, providing a stable and reliable signal and power transmission path. Wire harness connectors are characterized by their compact structure, low contact resistance, and strong anti-interference capabilities, while also supporting quick insertion and removal for easy installation and maintenance.

[0003] In the prior art, wire harness connectors usually need to be equipped with a waterproof structure to prevent moisture from entering the wire harness connector and causing a short circuit.

[0004] However, the existing waterproof structure of wire harness connectors is relatively simple, and moisture can easily enter the wire harness connector, posing certain safety hazards. In addition, the screw connection on the wire harness connector is exposed, and its threads are easily corroded, which can lead to loosening of the wire harness connector connection. This can cause the gap of the sealing gasket inside the device to increase, resulting in failure of the waterproof structure. Wire harness connectors have a short service life and low practicality.
