Abstract:
1. A waterproof electrical connector comprising: a main housing including: a contact that is housed in the fitting section such that one end of the contact is housed in the head section and is connected to one end of an insulated electrical wire which is guided out in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the fitting section is fitted into the mating connector; a cover housing that covers the head section; and a body that covers at least a boundary portion between the main housing and the cover housing, wherein the head section includes an electrical wire housing end section which projects in the direction in which the electrical wire is guided out, the cover housing includes an electrical wire covering end section which covers the electrical wire housing end section, the one end of the electrical wire is housed in the electrical wire housing end section and covered by the electrical wire covering end section, the electrical wire is guided out from the electrical wire housing end section, and the electrical wire housing end section includes an electrical wire restraining member that projects from a bottom of the electrical wire housing end section to a side of the cover housing with respect to the one end of the electrical wire housed in the electric wire end housing section and extends between the one end of the electrical wire and the electrical wire covering end section, and restrains the one end of the electrical wire in the electrical wire housing end section so as to prevent the one end of the electrical wire from being lifted when a force lifting the electrical wire to a side of the cover housing acts on the electrical wire.
