ABSTRACT:
A switch connector assembly with a waterproof structure which prevents admission of water thereinto without certainty and complete fitting between male and female connectors can be confirmed readily. The female connector has a short-circuiting terminal extending into a connector fitting chamber thereof and further has a temporary arresting projection and a flexible locking arm having a final arresting projection thereon. The male connector has a connecting terminal, a flexible engaging pawl, and an engaging portion. The short-circuiting terminal and the connecting terminal are kept out of contact with each other when the temporary arresting projection is fitted with the flexible engaging pawl, but contact with each other when the final arresting projection is fitted with the engaging portion. A sliding seal is provided on an outer periphery of the male connector and is engaged, upon insertion of the male connector into the connector fitting chamber, with the inner wall of the connector fitting chamber simultaneously with fitting of the temporary arresting projection and the flexible engaging pawl with each other.
