ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a waterproof connector (100) provided with structure (306, 316) to prevent water from entering the electrical connection unit. The invention double locks the male housing (300) and achieves miniaturization by providing a latch arm (314) inserted into the engaging aperture (202) in the female housing (200). The male housing's (300) sides are surrounded by a seal member (316) slanted so that on the first side equipped with a latch arm (314) the seal member (316) is ahead of the latch arm (314) in the insertion direction, and on the other side where a double lock member (310) is inserted the seal member (316) is to the rear of the double lock member (310) in the insertion direction. The male member (300) is waterproof when engaged in the engaging aperture (202) of the female housing (200).
