Abstract
A waterproof press-connecting connector of the invention includes a terminal holder for holding a plurality of press-connecting terminals in a juxtaposed manner, a mat seal of a soft, elastic material having a plurality of juxtaposed wire seal holes formed therethrough, and a housing having an opening having a peripheral edge portion in which an outer peripheral surface of the mat seal is fitted watertight. A cover plate for pressing the mat seal is formed integrally at a rear end of the terminal holder. A projected plate is formed on one inner surface of the peripheral edge portion of the opening in the housing, and a support projection is formed on the peripheral edge portion in opposed relation to the projected plate. A projected portion, through which the wire seal holes extend, is formed integrally on the front surface of the mat seal, and is disposed on a front end of a proximal portion of the terminal holder. The projected plate, having a slanting surface formed at its distal end, is formed on the one inner surface of the housing at the inner periphery thereof.
