Abstract

A waterproofing connector including a housing provided with a plurality of chambers in which wiring harnesses are fixed and with a rigid grid consisted of plates for partitioning the chambers, and a seal for sealing an end of the housing, the seal being provided with a plurality of holes in which the wiring harnesses are passed through to the chambers and with grooves for partitioning the holes. The plates of the rigid grid are inserted securely in the grooves of the seal respectively when the end of the housing is covered by the seal. The holes of the seal do not deform nor shift from chambers of the housing when the seal is put in the housing for sealing and when wiring harnesses are passed through the holes to the chambers, and good waterproofness is obtained between the holes and the wiring harnesses.
