An electrical connector has terminal retainers 20,40 and retainer insertion holes 16,36. The necessary clearance is cranked 19,24;39,44 or has C-shaped recesses 23,43 to prevent creeping of moisture from the exterior. A central drain channel 15,35 runs through the centre of the connector and is sealed by means of mutually fitting tapered faces 26A,46A. Overhanging hoods 14a,14d shield the mating faces of connector housings. Mating terminal chambers 11,31 also have tapered sealing faces 28,48. A peripheral rib/groove 45 has a long narrow clearance to prevent moisture transfer. Plate-like ribs 46 engage in corresponding receiving members 26 to lengthen the moisture path. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
