A novel sealing connector is provided for sealing a stack of filter units in a filter housing. The sealing connector has a base portion, a compression generating member, and an attachment member for selectively attaching the base portion to the end of a filter unit. The attachment member and the connecting portion of the end connector resiliently cooperate to permit latch members of the attachment member and the end connector to slide past each other and overlap in a radial direction when an axial force is exerted on the aligned latch members for integrally attaching the sealing connector to the end connector. In one illustrated embodiment, the sealing connector has a female attachment member for attaching to a male connecting portion of a male end connector. The female attachment member has a connecting portion formed by an outer wall, which extends along the outer periphery of the base and extends outwardly from the base portion, and a flange, which extends from the end of the wall in the radial direction of the base portion. The outer wall and flange form a socket for receiving the male connecting portion of the end connector.
