Provided is an elastic seal member and a connector which can suppress deterioration of a sealing property while suppressing an insertion resistance to a wire insertion hole. A plurality of seal insertion holes (electric wire insertion holes) through which terminal-equipped electric wires are inserted in the thickness direction is arranged and provided, and on at least one of the front and back surfaces a thinned groove is provided adjacent to the seal insertion hole (electric wire insertion hole), and the thinned groove is formed into a shape that does not overlap with a circular range centered on the seal insertion hole (electric wire insertion hole) in a plan view when viewing the one surface, the circular range of the electric wire insertion holes (electric wire insertion hole) adjacent to each other interposing the thinned groove being not overlapping with each other.

Elastic seal member and connector

A cover includes a body attached to a housing containing a terminal connected to an electric wire, and that includes an electric wire leading portion, and a lid to be fitted to the body. The cover includes a guide receiving portion on an outer surface of a distal end of one of the lid and the body, and a guide portion on a distal end of the other. The guide receiving portion has an inclined surface inclined toward an inner surface of the guide receiving portion along a fitting direction. The guide portion guides a distal end of the guide receiving portion. The guide portion protrudes outward perpendicularly to the fitting direction. The guide portion has an inclined surface on an inner surface of the distal end of the other of the lid and the body.
