ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a waterproof connector (FIG. 2) in which water is prevented from entering an inner part of a connector housing through clearances between cavities and terminal metal fixtures. Even if inner peripheries of cavities 11 and outer peripheries of terminal metal fixtures (contact) 20 are wetted with water when the waterproof connector is detached from a mating connector not shown, a waterproof annular member 25 disposed between an inner periphery of each cavity 11 and an outer periphery of each terminal metal fixture 20 prevents water from enter a connector housing 1 through a clearance between the cavity 11 and the fixture 20.
