A sealable electrical connector has a housing which includes an end surface and a surrounding side wall. A seal member is attached to the end surface and disposed within a periphery border defined by the side wall. When the connector is mated with a counterpart connector, the end surface and part of the side wall are received in a recess of the counterpart connector. Before reaching the final mated position, the seal member is not in contact with recess, hence mating is made easy and wearing / drop-off of the seal member is prevented. When at the final mated position, a bottom surface of the recess and the end surface compress the seal member to cause the seal member expanding beyond the periphery border and in close contact with the inner side wall of the recess to form a waterproof seal.
