Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector is configured so that a fitting part of a connector housing and a panel is sealed by bringing a lip part of a flange attachment part of a waterproof grommet for surrounding an outer periphery of a flange into pressing contact with the peripheral edge of an attachment hole when the peripheral edge of the attachment hole is held between a locking protrusion of a housing body and the flange provided at a rear end of the housing body. In the connector, the flange includes a plurality of flexible pieces which elastically displaces the lip part to the side of the locking protrusion so as to expand a proper plate thickness range of the panel capable of making close contact with the lip part.
