Abstract
A waterproof connector (10) has a terminal accommodating portion (20) on which a seal ring (40) is to be fit. Seal mounting walls (36) project out from the terminal accommodating portion (20) and include locking holes (37) through which projections (43) of the seal ring (40) are press-fit from the front. Seal protection walls (33) are arranged behind the seal mounting walls (36) and projection accommodation spaces (S) are provided between the seal mounting walls (36) and the seal protection walls (33) for accommodating the projections (43). The seal protection walls (33) cover the projections (43) from behind so that the projections (43) cannot be pushed forward, cut or damaged by an impact from behind. Accordingly, the seal ring (40) will not be separated inadvertently and sealing performance can be maintained.
