Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a main body made of synthetic resin and formed with a fitting recess having an open front end for receiving a mating connector along a mating direction, the fitting recess having a bottom surface facing substantially towards the front end; a filling recess recessed in part of the bottom surface of the fitting recess and having a bottom wall; terminal fittings mounting in the bottom wall, the terminal fittings projecting in the mating direction through the filling recess and into the fitting recess; a boundary diverging surface facing substantially towards the front end, the boundary diverging surface being formed at least partly around the filling recess; a detecting diverging surface facing substantially towards the front end, the detecting diverging surface being formed at least partly around an outer periphery of the filling recess and being between the bottom wall of the filling recess and the boundary diverging surface; a sealant filled at least partly into the filling recess and around portions of the terminal fittings projecting through the filling recess; and a visual confirmation area formed along one transverse side of the filling recess, the visual confirmation area including portions of the boundary diverging surface and the detecting diverging surface having widths measured transverse to the mating direction that exceed widths of the boundary diverging surface and the detecting diverging surface at all other locations around the filling recess.
