The sealing member 40 is provided with sealing portions 45 to be fitted around the outer surfaces of pillar portions 16 surrounding male terminal fittings 13. A lattice-shaped press-in groove 46 is provided between the respective sealing portions 45, and a frame-shaped press-in groove 47 is formed between the sealing portions 45 and the mounting recess 15. A frame-shaped rib 32 and a lattice-shaped rib 33 provided inside the rib 32 for partitioning cavities 23 project from an engaging end surface 20A of a female housing 20. The ribs 32, 33 enter the press-in grooves 46, 47 as the housings 10, 20 are connected and come into sealing contact with the outer circumferential surfaces of the sealing portions 45.
