First Claim
1. A waterproof connector, comprising:
- an insulating housing having a top wall and two lateral walls, the top wall recessed to form a first through recess having a lower portion with an outer periphery protruded inward for engaging and supporting a first sealing plate, the first sealing plate having an outer periphery portion of an upper portion exceeding that of a lower portion thereof, the engagement between the first sealing plate and the first through recess preventing water from going into the insulating housing, each lateral wall recessed to form a receiving recess;
a plurality of terminals mounted into the insulating housing;
a shell wrapping the insulating housing having a top slice, two opposite sides of the top slice extended downward to form a pair of lateral slices, a bottom slice connecting bottom ends of the lateral slices; and
a fixing element fixed in the receiving recess having a damping plate extended outward beyond the lateral wall to rest against the lateral slice for stopping the water from permeating into the shell and further spreading into the insulating housing.

Abstract
A waterproof connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals mounted into the insulating housing, a shell wrapping the insulating housing. The insulating housing has a top wall recessed to form a first through recess having a lower portion with an outer periphery protruded inward for supporting a first sealing plate. The first sealing plate has an outer periphery portion of an upper portion exceeding that of a lower portion thereof. The engagement between the first through recess and the first sealing plate prevent water from going into the insulating housing. A lateral wall is recessed to form a receiving recess. A fixing element fixed in the receiving recess has a damping plate punched outward beyond the lateral wall. The damping plate rests against the lateral slice for stopping the water from permeating into the shell and further spreading into the insulating housing.
