Abstract
A waterproof connector includes a connector housing having a plurality of terminal receiving chambers, a waterproof plug, and a waterproof plug holder. The waterproof plug and the waterproof plug holder have a plurality of insertion holes corresponding respectively to the terminal receiving chambers. The waterproof plug and the waterproof plug holder are connected to the connector housing in a two-stage manner, that is, in a completely-retained condition and a provisionally-retained condition. In the provisionally-retained condition, an annular sealing rib, formed on an inner surface of each of the insertion holes, is compressed between the connector housing and the waterproof plug holder to expand the insertion hole.
