Waterproof connector

摘要

Cavities (3) capable of housing terminal fittings (2) connected with the ends of electric wires (W) are provided inside of a housing (4). A rear assembly (8) is assembled at the rear of the housing. The rear assembly includes a cover (8A) formed of a quality of material having no elasticity and a waterproof member (7) formed of a quality of material having elasticity. The waterproof member further includes a wire seal part (7B) that surrounds and waterproofs electric wires, and a housing seal part (7A) that seals between the two housings. A clearance (21) is provided about a periphery between the outer peripheral face of the wire seal part and the housing seal part. Even if the material of the wire seal part is deformed during the insertion operation of the electric wires, the insertion operation of the electric wires can be smoothly carried out to the last wire because the clearance absorbs the deformation of the entire wire seal part. <IMAGE>
