However, when injecting the grease G, the flow direction of the grease G greatly depends on the injection pressure and the form of the injection side. That is, the amount of grease G injected differs between the terminal accommodating hole chamber 5a in which the terminal 7 is accommodated and the terminal accommodating chamber 5a in which the terminal 7 is not accommodated. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
When the grease G is completely injected into all the terminal accommodating chambers 5a, the product is acceptable, but as shown in FIG. 7B, when the grease G is not completely injected, the product is defective and fails. Becomes If the grease G is not injected completely, the terminals 7 inside the two connector housings 3 and 5 may be corroded.
