A watertight connector and a method of assembling it

摘要

An object of the present invention is to improve watertightness.

<Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">A connector is provided with male terminal fittings 30, sealing members 50 mountable on the male terminal fittings 30, and a housing 10 formed with cavities 14 for accommodating the male terminal fittings 30 with the sealing members 50 held in close contact with the inner wall surfaces of the cavities 14. Each sealing member 50 is mounted on a tab 31 located before a wire barrel 32 in the male terminal fitting 30. Accordingly, even if water enters through the inside of the wire 90, an arrival of the water at mating portions of male and female terminal fittings 30, 80 can be avoided.
