Claim:
A fluidtight connector, comprising: first and second housings connectable with each other, at least one first terminal accommodated in the first housing and projecting from the first housing substantially in a connecting direction with the second housing and connectable with at least one second terminal accommodated in the second housing, a terminal accommodating portion provided in the second housing, including at least one cavity capable accommodating the second terminal and formed with a terminal insertion hole through which the first terminal is insertable into the cavity, at least one seal mounted on a front surface of the terminal accommodating portion with respect to a connecting direction with the first housing and capable of being held in close contact with the front surface in an area where the terminal insertion hole is formed, a cover wall provided in the second housing for at least partly covering a front side of the seal with respect to the connecting direction with the first housing, at least one through hole penetrating the cover wall in the connecting direction at a position substantially corresponding to the terminal insertion hole, at least one projection formed on the first housing and projecting outwardly toward the second housing and along the first terminal, and at least partly covering the outer peripheral surface of a base end of the first terminal and having an outer shape that can be passed through the through hole in close contact with substantially an entire inner peripheral surface of the through hole, and at least one shake preventing portion projecting from at least one of an outer peripheral surface of the projection and the inner peripheral surface of the through hole for closely contacting at least one of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the projection, wherein the shake preventing portion extends over at least part of the length of the through hole in a penetrating direction, wherein rear end portions of the projections are squeezed into the projection insertion holes while having the shake preventing portions deformed.
