Abstract
A waterproof connector has a housing (10) with a rearwardly open stopper accommodation part (20). A rubber stopper (50) is accommodated in the stopper accommodation part (20) and has wire insertion holes (52). A holder (70) is mounted on the housing (10) for preventing the rubber stopper (50) from being removed from the stopper accommodation part (20). A positioning part (58) is formed on the rubber stopper (50). A positioning receiving part (26) is formed on the stopper accommodation part (20) and mates with the positioning part (58) when the rubber stopper (50) is in a correct posture so that the rubber stopper (50) can fit in the stopper accommodation part (20). The positioning part (58) interferes with the positioning receiving part (26) when the rubber stopper (50) is in an incorrect posture so that the rubber stopper (50) cannot fit in the stopper accommodation part (20).
