Abstract:
A waterproof connector provided herein is capable of reducing an area taken up by the connector while ensuring waterproof performance, achieving layout design of electronic equipment more freely, and contributing to size reduction of the electronic equipment. This waterproof connector is also capable of increasing the strength and durability of a shell dramatically. A waterproof connector (1) includes: a shell (2) of a seamless and substantially tubular shape; a resin support (3) accommodated in a wall pattern in the shell (2); a contact terminal (4) attached to the support (3) for example by insert molding and supported by the support (3); and a sealing member (5) provided around an outer periphery of the shell (2). Preferably, the shell (2) is provided with a non-through recess (26) formed so as to bulge outward. The non-through recess (26) allows engagement of a hook of a plug.
