Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a housing having a water stop groove and a region disposed between an end of the housing and the water stop groove. The water stop groove extends along a circumferential direction of the housing orthogonal to a mating direction of the electrical connector. The water stop groove is dimensioned to allow a surface tension to act on a quantity of water accumulated in the region.
