Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation connector technology, specifically a novel waterproof connector. Background Technology

[0002] Aviation electrical connectors, including aviation sockets and aviation plugs, are named after their initial application in the aviation field. They are now widely used in high-reliability scenarios such as aerospace, defense, power, and industrial equipment. Aviation sockets and plugs typically have insulators and insulator covers to facilitate the fixing of pin contacts and socket contacts. Currently, aviation plugs and sockets are made using injection molding or partial injection molding to achieve waterproof performance. However, this method makes the connector unrepairable after damage, limiting its applicability. Furthermore, injection molding requires separate molds, making it unsuitable for small-batch production and thus presenting certain limitations. Utility Model Content
