Abstract
A charging connector () has terminal fittings () including female-side main portions () connectable to a vehicle-side terminal () and having a wire (W) connected to the rear end of the main portion (). Terminal accommodating portions () are formed internally with cavities () for accommodating the terminal fittings (). Seals () are sandwiched between facing inner walls of the cavities () and the main portions (). Wire accommodating portions () are behind the terminal accommodating portions () for accommodating the wires (W) in a state where reaction forces push the terminal fittings () forward. Each terminal fitting () is biased constantly forward by the reaction force of the wire W against a frictional force with the seal ring (), thereby being arranged at a frontmost position where the front end of the main portion () and a front wall (A) of the cavity () are in contact.
