Abstract
A waterproof low insertion force connector includes a lever for fitting a male and a female connector to each other by its rotating operation and an elastic grommet for waterproofing the connectors. The lever has auxiliary flanges and the grommet has an engagement portion to be engaged with the auxiliary flanges when both connectors are completely fit to each other. The connector has a flange formed integrally to its housing . When both-connectors are completely fit to each other the auxiliary flanges and the flange are flush with each other, and the engagement portion is engaged with the flange and the auxiliary flanges. The grommet is provided with an interference portion with the grommet at the tip of the lever. In this configuration, incomplete fitting of a waterproof connector and inadvertent coming-off thereof can be prevented.
