ABSTRACT:
The connector of the present invention refers to a waterproof connector that includes contact terminals connected to the contact terminals of another connector in a contact manner, a main body housing that has a through hole for housing the contact terminals, and a tubular connector seal that consists of an elastic member fitted around the circumference of the main body housing, where the connector seal is pressed against the inner circumference wall of the housing of the other connector when the waterproof connector is connected to such other connector in a fitted manner to prevent water from permeating the connector, whereby a tubular sliding hood is installed on the connector seal as to be freely slidable in the main body housing, and is pushed down to the tip of the housing of the other connector in the process of connection, while the connector seal is pressed against the inner circumference wall of the housing of the other connector.According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a small and thin waterproof connector where the outer tubular portion serving as a housing is no longer necessary as indicated in prior art, as it is serves to prevent dirt, dust or the like from attaching and at the same time, prevent water from permeating the connector, thereby facilitating connection with another connector in good condition.
