Water Resistant Connector Sleeve Plug Deformation

The sealing function is divided into two separate components: the waterproof rubber ring for sealing and the clamping member for line securing. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function effectively without the size constraints that prevented the rubber ring from holding the line in implantable devices.

The clamping member acts as an intermediary component between the electrode line and the connector housing. It provides the mechanical clamping force needed to secure the line, while the rubber ring provides the sealing function, allowing both functions to coexist in the limited space of implantable devices.

The sealing and clamping functions are separated into distinct components. The rubber ring maintains its sealing function independent of the line diameter, while the clamping member provides the necessary extrusion force to secure the line, allowing tight sealing even with reduced electrode line diameters suitable for implantable devices.

The design changes the mechanical parameters of the sealing system by introducing a clamping member that can be extruded to apply controlled force on both the rubber ring and the electrode line. This allows the system to achieve tight sealing with varying line diameters without relying on the line size to extrude the rubber ring.

The sealing mechanism is segmented into two specialized components: the rubber ring dedicated to water sealing and the clamping member dedicated to line holding. This segmentation, while increasing component count, enables both functions to be performed reliably, which is critical for implantable medical devices where failure is not an option.

The clamping member serves multiple functions: it secures the electrode line, provides structural support, and works in conjunction with the rubber ring to achieve both sealing and line holding. This multi-functionality compensates for the increased component count by integrating several roles into a single component.
