Abstract
A connector includes a connector housing having a cavity, a male terminal having a protruded portion, a sealing ring receiving recess included in the connector housing, a sealing ring arranged in the sealing ring receiving recess, and a retainer mounted in the connector housing and pressing the sealing ring from a front side of the protruded portion of the male terminal. The male terminal is housed in the cavity in a way that the protruded portion protrudes from the connector housing. The sealing ring receiving recess is located at a position corresponding to a base section of the male terminal that is on a side from which the protruded portion protrudes. The male terminal passes through the sealing ring such that it seals a space between the male terminal and an inner surface of the sealing ring receiving recess. The retainer includes an engagement portion engaged with the male terminal.
