Abstract
The waterproof electrical connector achieves a seal between an end portion of a socket housing and a seal member in a pin housing. The seal member may be elastic, and forms a seal that allows for easy withdrawal and insertion of the socket housing in the pin housing. The seal member may have an arcuate surface that engages the end portion of the socket housing. The socket housing has a rectangular transverse cross-section that allows for dense packing of female terminals.
