Abstract:
A waterproof connector includes a female housing (21) configured to form a sealing space (S) when connected to a male housing (11). The female housing (21) has an inner housing (22) with cavities (23) into which female terminal fittings (27) are to be inserted. The inner housing (22) is to be fit into a receptacle (13) of the male housing (11). A tubular fitting (35) of the female housing (21) surrounds the inner housing (22) and is fit to an outer periphery of the receptacle (13). A ventilation member (60) includes a ventilation film (61) enabling ventilation between the sealing space (S) and an outside of the female housing (21). The ventilation member (60) is arranged so that the ventilation film (61) at least partially overlaps the receptacle (13) in a virtual projection plane perpendicular to a connecting direction of the housings (11, 21).
