Abstract
Disclosed are a waterproof connector and a method of assembling the same. The waterproof connector is equipped with an inner housing having formed therein a plurality of the terminal accommodation compartments, a seal housing connected to the inner housing in such a way as to be freely movable relative to the inner housing in a direction intersecting the axial direction of an electric wire substantially at right angles thereto, and an outer housing into which the inner housing and the seal housing are freely detachably fitted. In one wall portion of the seal housing opposing the terminal accommodation compartments, electric wire insertion-through-holes are formed. On an inner side of the one wall portion that oppose the electric wire insertion-through-holes, rubber plug accommodation recessed portions are formed. And the electric wires passed through the electric wire insertion-through-holes and the rubber plugs accommodated in the rubber plug accommodation recessed portions are connected to their corresponding terminals accommodated in the terminal accommodation compartments.
