A simply assembled and reliable waterproof connector. The waterproof connector (1) is mounted on a circuit board (6) fixed inside a case (5) and is connected to a mating connector (7) through a connector hole (5h) formed in the case (5). The waterproof connector (1) has a contact (2) for electrical connection of the connector to the mating connector, an insulation housing (3) for holding the contact (2) and having an annular seal member (35) on its outer periphery, a tubular section (41) having one opening end (41b) into which the insulation housing (3) is fitted with the seal member (35) in between, and a cover member (4) having a flange-like section (42) formed in an outwardly expanding manner on the tubular section (41) at its opening end (41a) located on the side opposite to the opening end (41b).
