A terminal comprising a plate shaped electrical connector including an engagement portion and an equipment portion, a ring shaped support member intimately attached to an outer periphery of the equipment portion and abutting to the engagement portion, and a ring shaped elastic seal intimately attached to the outer periphery of the equipment portion and adjacent to the support member from a side of the support member opposite a side abutting the engagement portion. Also, a connector comprising the terminal and a connector housing including a terminal space into which the terminal is inserted, the terminal space having an inner peripheral wall.
1. A terminal comprising:
an electrical connector including an engagement portion and an equipment portion and configured to be connected with an electric wire;
a ring shaped support member intimately attached to an outer periphery of the equipment portion and having a side abutting the engagement portion so that the support member is retained by the engagement portion; and
a ring shaped elastic seal intimately attached to the outer periphery of the equipment portion and adjacent to the support member from a side of the support member opposite the side abutting the engagement portion,
wherein a rigidity of the support member is higher than a rigidity of the elastic seal.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical connector has a plate shape.
3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the engagement portion includes a projection which projects from a side of the plate shaped electrical connector in a width direction.
4. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the engagement portion includes a projection which projects from the plate shaped electrical connector in a thickness direction.
5. A connector comprising:
a terminal including an electrical connector, the electrical connector including an engagement portion and an equipment portion and configured to be connected with an electric wire;
a connector housing including a terminal space into which the terminal is inserted, the terminal space having an inner peripheral wall;
a ring shaped support member intimately attached to an outer periphery of the equipment portion and having a side abutting the engagement portion so that the support member is retained by the engagement portion; and
a ring shaped elastic seal intimately attached to the outer periphery of the equipment portion and the inner peripheral wall, and adjacent to the support member from a side of the support member opposite the side abutting the engagement portion,
wherein a rigidity of the support member is higher than a rigidity of the elastic seal.
6. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the electrical connector has a plate shape.
7. The connector according to claim 6 , wherein the engagement portion includes a projection which projects from a side of the plate shaped electrical connector in a width direction.
8. The connector according to claim 6 , wherein the engagement portion includes a projection, which projects from the plate shaped electrical connector in a thickness direction.
