A waterproof connector (1) comprises: a connector housing (30) having an opening (5) engaged with a mated connector housing; a packing (10) disposed within the opening of the connector housing, for sealing a space between the two mated connector housings, at least one part (10a) of the packing being exposed outside through at least one hole (12) formed in the connector housing; and a protective cover (40) selectively attached to the connector housing from the outside at need, for covering at least one exposed part (10a) of the packing according to the required degree of connector waterproof characteristics. The protective cover is preferably formed of a hard plastic resin and preferably formed with locking elements (48, 50) locked with other locking elements (28, 28a) formed in the connector housing. When the protective cover (40) is attached to the connector housing, the waterproof connector is usable for a connector disposed under an engine for an automotive vehicle as a waterproof connector resistant against a high-pressure washing water jet stream.
