ABSTRACT:
A sealing structure for a panel-mounted electrical connector seals fixed and detachable connector housings. A waterproof seal has a double seal structure including inner and outer peripheral side sealing sections surrounding a mounting hole of a panel in which the connector is fitted, for sealing a gap between the detachable connector housing and the outer face of the panel. The sealing structure further includes a subseal sealing a gap between a hood of the fixed connector housing and the detachable connector housing in the inner peripheral side of the waterproof seal. When water flows through a gap between the mounting hole and the hood from the inside of the panel, the subseal prevents the water from invading a gap between the hood and the detachable connector housing.
