Connector assembly and cable-end connector

Abstract

A wire-end connector includes a housing, a conductive base, a cable, a rear sleeve cover, a waterproof component, and a stop. The housing is cylindrical. The conductive base is housed within the housing. The cable is at least partially housed within the housing and electrically connected to the conductive base. The rear sleeve cover is coupled to the housing and together defines a waterproof space, wherein the rear sleeve cover surrounds the cable. The waterproof component is housed within the housing and surrounds the cable. The stop is housed within the housing and abuts against the conductive base, wherein the stop surrounds the cable, and wherein the stop and the rear sleeve cover are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the waterproof component in an axial direction and together limit the waterproof component in this axial direction, while the housing is configured to compress the waterproof component in a direction perpendicular to this axial direction.
