ABSTRACT:
A rear holder cover of a waterproof connector is provided which remains secured to a connector housing despite being subjected to substantial external forces. The rear holder cover contains a rear cover which is inserted in a connector housing and a plurality of hinge connection portions each having a first end and a second end. The first end of each of the plurality of hinge connection portions is connected to the rear holder, and the second end of each of the plurality of hinge connection portions is connected to a plurality of half covers. The plurality of hinge connection portions are flexible such that the plurality of half covers are pivotally movable in a direction perpendicular to a direction of insertion of the rear holder into the connector housing. Furthermore, each of the plurality of half covers comprises a projection portion and a projection receiving portion. The projection portion of each of the plurality of half covers respectively engages the projection receiving portion of each adjacent half cover so as to secure the rear holder cover on the connector housing. Therefore, the rear holder cover remains secured to the connector housing even if hinges connecting the rear holder to the half covers break and if external forces act on the plurality of half covers and the rear holder.
