Abstract
A water-resistant electrical connector has a flow-down space S, through which water passes, formed between the outside surface of female terminal housings 30 and the inside of a male hood 12. Water which penetrates inside the male hood 12 from the end thereof passes through a flow-down space S to exit apertures 20, 37. Neighboring terminals are separated by hollow partition walls 11, 31. Partition walls 18 may project from the male connector and pass between adjacent female terminal housings to improve electrical isolation.
