ABSTRACT:
A waterproof electrical connector includes a housing inserted into a cavity defined in a counterpart of the connector and having a stepped outer contour such that a rear portion of the housing has a larger outer contour than the front portion of the housing. An annular sealing member is fitted to the housing from a front portion of the housing. One end of the sealing member abuts the step for sealing a gap between the housing and an inner peripheral surface of the counterpart defining the cavity. An engagement member engages the outer periphery of the front portion of the housing and abuts the other end of the sealing member. The engagement member also has a larger outer contour than the front portion of the housing.
