Abstract: In an electric connector, a waterproof member having an internal waterproof portion and an external waterproof portion is provided in a main body portion. The internal waterproof portion and the external waterproof portion are integrated. Accordingly, the internal waterproof portion covers exposed portions of an upper contact and a lower contact and prevents water intrusion along the upper contact and the lower contact. In addition, the external waterproof portion prevents water intrusion between the electric connector and an inner wall of an accommodating space of an electronic device by surrounding the entire circumference of the main body portion. Since the internal waterproof portion and the external waterproof portion are integrated in this manner, both internal waterproofing and external waterproofing can be realized with the simple configuration of the single waterproof member in the electric connector.

The conductive contacts are exposed from the housing so as to be electrically connectable to a mating connector in a distal end portion of the connector main body and are exposed from the housing so as to be electrically connectable to a substrate in a rear end portion of the connector main body. The housing has positioning portions positioning the connector main body and the substrate relative to each other. The positioning portions are located closer to a center line of the connector main body than the conductive contacts when the connector main body is viewed in plan. The center line extends along a direction from the distal end portion of the connector main body toward the rear end portion.
