The seal is further provided with a plurality of through holes to which cables provided with terminals at front ends are respectively inserted, and the rear holder is provided with insertion holes communicating with the through holes respectively. The rear holder allows the cable to pass through at a time of being inserted to a temporary engaging position, and presses the seal so as to fix at a time of being inserted to a regular engaging position. The insertion holes are extended so as to have a length at a degree at which a front end thereof is not brought into contact with lips of the through holes even when the inserted terminals are inclined. Any one or both of the connector housing and the rear holder is provided with one or more ribs sliding pressure contact with an opposing member, and the rib extends in a fitting and inserting direction of the rear holder.
