Patent ID: 8545264

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a housing with at least one terminal accommodating chamber; a resilient member facing a rear surface of the housing and formed with at least one seal hole; a rear holder with at least one through hole corresponding to the seal hole and configured to prevent a backward detachment of the resilient member from the housing; at least one terminal fitting inserted through the through hole and the seal hole and into the terminal accommodating chamber from behind; and at least one wire connected to a rear end portion of the terminal fitting and inserted into the seal hole in a fluid- or liquid-tight manner, wherein: the resilient member includes a main body with at least one insertion hole corresponding to the terminal accommodating chamber and at least one tubular projection communicating with the insertion hole and projecting from a rear surface of the main body; the through hole is formed with at least one restricting portion matchable with a restriction area on the outer periphery of the tubular projection; and the rear holder is displaceable between a deformation permitting position where the restricting portion is not in contact with the restriction area and where resilient radially expansive deformation of the tubular projection is permitted and a deformation preventing position where the restricting portion contacts the restriction area over substantially the entire circumferences to prevent radially expansive deformation of the tubular projection.
