ABSTRACT:
To provide a waterproof connector capable of reducing a load applied upon connection or separation of a male connector to or from a female connector while sufficiently ensuring sufficient waterproofing. A plurality of individually fitting projections, each being adapted to support a female terminal, are provided on the top surface of a collectively fitting projection provided in a female connector housing. In a male connector housing, a plurality of individually fitting recesses, in each of which an associated one of the individually fitting projections is fittable, are provided in a bottom surface portion of a collectively fitting recess in which the collectively fitting projection is fittable. Each of the individually fitting recesses is adapted to support a male terminal. An elastic sealing member supported by the female connector housing includes a pair of collectively sealing lips respectively formed on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of a collectively sealing portion to be held between the collectively fitting projection and the collectively fitting recess, and a pair of individually sealing lips respectively formed on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of each of the individually sealing portions to be held between the associated one of the individually fitting portions and the associated one of the individually fitting recesses.
