ABSTRACT:
A connector has a female housing (10). A space (12S) is formed at the rear of the housing (10) for accommodating a seal (40) and terminal accommodating chambers (11A) extend forward from the space (12S). A rear holder (50) is mounted on the rear of the female housing (10) for holding the seal (40) in the space (12S). A lever (70) is mounted on the rear holder (50) and can generate a cam action for connecting the female housing (10) and a mating male housing (80). The lever (70) can be moved further after the housings (10, 80) are connected for moving the rear holder (50). Thus, the rear holder (50) compresses the seal (40) into engagement with wires that extend from the female housing (10).
