Abstract
A connector comprises a housing including a terminal receiving chamber into which a terminal is insertable; a partition wall dividing an internal space of the terminal receiving chamber into a first portion and a second portion, the partition wall having a hole through which the terminal is extended from the first portion into the second portion when the terminal is inserted into the terminal receiving chamber; and micro-capsules each containing an adhesive solution, the micro-capsules being provided at least on an inner surface of the hole. In the connector, when the terminal is inserted into the terminal receiving chamber, the micro-capsules are ruptured by a pressure produced when the terminal is fitted in the hole of the partition wall, so that the adhesive solution is released from the micro-capsules and adhesively bonds the terminal to the inner surface of the hole in a liquid-tight manner.
