Abstract
The invention provides a connector having a pair of first and second connector housings for preventing looseness between the connector housings in lateral and longitudinal directions of the connector, surely eliminating frictional wear of male and female terminals in the connector housings. The connector can reliably resist to an external vibration force. A male connector housingis resiliently urged by a waterproof packingtoward a female connector housing. The male connector housinghas an inner housingformed with a plurality of looseness prohibiting projections. The looseness prohibiting projectionhas a tapered surface. An inner surface of a peripheral wallof the female connector housingis formed with a tapered surfaceengaged with the tapered surfaceon complete mating of the connector housings. The waterproof packingis closely sandwiched between the an outer surface of a peripheral wallof the inner housingand an inner surface of a peripheral wallof the female connector housing
