Waterproof connector and waterproof structure of device case
A waterproof connector includes a contact, a housing, a seal member, and a cover member. An inserted portion of the housing is inserted in an insertion hole of a wall portion of a device case. The inserted portion includes an annular surface disposed flush to or with a step provided with respect to a surface of the wall portion. The seal member includes an annular first seal portion, fitted in an annular groove formed in the annular surface, and a covering portion, extending orthogonally from the first seal portion toward the surface side of the wall portion. The covering portion spanningly covers a first gap, which is a gap between an outer peripheral surface of the inserted portion and an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole. The cover member is fixed to the wall portion across the covering portion. A second seal portion, providing sealing between the cover member and the surface of the wall portion, is formed by a portion of the covering portion that is sandwiched by the cover member and the front surface of the wall portion.
