Patent ID: 7351094

Claim:
A connector comprising: a housing with opposite front and rear ends and side walls extending between the ends, a locking projection projecting outwardly in a projecting direction on one of the side walls of said housing, a grommet-receiving concavity formed between the locking projection and the rear end of the housing, the grommet-receiving concavity including a step extending substantially in the projecting direction; a rubber grommet substantially covering the side walls and the rear end of said housing, a locking hole formed through the grommet and being fit on the locking projection of the housing, the grommet being formed with an elongated tubular wire pull-out part transversely extending from the rear end of the housing and projecting substantially parallel to the projecting direction of locking projection, portions of the grommet between the wire pull-out part and the locking hole being nested in the grommet-receiving concavity; and a hard grommet cover covering an outer surface of said grommet, said grommet cover having a lid that can be moved between open and closed states with respect to said grommet, said lid having a convex grommet-engaging projection that is aligned with and nested in the grommet-receiving concavity and holds the portions of the grommet in the grommet-receiving concavity and against the step when the lid is closed for preventing a periphery of said locking hole from deforming in a direction transverse to said wire pull-out part.
