ABSTRACT:
To effect water-proofing using a non-water-proof type of female connector, a non-water-proof female connector (20) is fitted with a concave fitting member (12) of a male connector (10), a cover assembly (30) fitting with both the female connector (20) and the concave fitting member (12). The cover assembly (30) is provided with a ring-shaped seal (40) which fits tightly with the rim of the circumference of the fitting member (12), thereby sealing the portions of the two connectors (10) and (20) that fit together. A gel seal (45) is compressed between the cover assembly (30) and the rear face of the female connector (20), this preventing water from entering via terminal attachment holes (21) on the rear face of the female connector (20).
