ABSTRACT:
A object of the present invention is to enable a double-locking of female terminals without making a whole connector larger in size or complicating a structure thereof while maintaining fine waterproof function. A female connector C1includes a female housing12for retaining a female terminal10and a seal member holder16. The seal member holder16retains a seal member14having through holes14a. When the seal member holder16is completely attached to the female housing12, the seal member14comes in close contact with a front surface of the female housing12. In this state, a male terminal20of a male connector C2fits into the female terminal10so that a projecting portion25of the connector C1comes in close contact with an inner surface of the through hole14ato make terminals waterproof individually. Further, the seal member holder16is provided with a double-locking piece16fin, which pursues the double locking of the female terminal10in the female housing12at the time of the complete attachment.
