Abstract: A waterproof connector includes a housing (20) that accommodates terminal fittings (12). A rubber plug (40) is fit in the housing (20) and a rear holder (50) is mounted behind the rubber plug (40). The rear holder (50) is set in a partially locked state while inserting the terminal fittings (12) and is set in a fully locked state after the terminal fittings (12) are accommodated completely. A lever (80) is assembled with the housing (20) and is moved to assist a connection to a mating connector (90). Movement limiting portions (70) are retracted from a movable range of the lever (80) to permit movement of the lever (80) when the rear holder (50) is in the fully locked state, but are in the movable range of the lever (80) to limit movement of the lever (80) when the rear holder (50) is in the partially locked state.

Abstract: Out of resilient contact pieces (21) provided on a shorting terminal (20), contact portions (24) to come into contact with specific terminal fittings (10) to be shorted by the shorting terminal (20) are provided on a front side of the shorting terminal (20) in a connecting direction to a mating connector (M). A shorting terminal accommodating chamber (46) provided in a housing (40) is open forward in the connecting direction to the mating connector (M). The shorting terminal (20) can be accommodated into the shorting terminal accommodating chamber (46) from front in the connecting direction. Front press-fit portions (34) to be press-fitted to wall portions (48A) of the housing (40) forming the shorting terminal accommodating chamber (46) are provided at positions of the shorting terminal (20) juxtaposed with the contact portions (24) in a width direction.
