ABSTRACT:
A female connector housing has male terminals attached thereto and is closed by a cover member, the cover member being allowed to be opened and closed. A male connector housing is inserted into an insertion portion of the female connector housing, so that female terminals are attached to the male terminals. The insertion portion of the female connector housing is opened in such a direction as to face downward when installed. Both the female connector housing and the male connector housing have outlets for holding the electrical cables connected to the male and female terminals on a side that faces downward when installed. Since a connector is opened only at a lower portion thereof, waterdrops falling down from above can in no way enter into the connector.
