A waterproof connector includes a connector housing. The connector housing includes: a terminal housing part for housing a terminal; a core-wire housing part which is provided continuously to the terminal housing part and houses a core wire part of an electric wire; and a covered end insertion part into which a covered end of the electric wire is inserted. The covered end insertion part is provided with a waterproof partition wall, so that respective interiors of the core-wire housing part and the terminal housing part are kept in a waterproof state. The core-wire housing part is provided, around the core wire part, with a hollow part which allows the core wire part of an end of the electric wire to move freely within the core-wire housing part.
1. A waterproof connector, comprising:
a connector housing in which a terminal connected to an end of an electric wire and a core wire part of the electric wire connected to the terminal are housed,
the connector housing comprising:
a terminal housing part for housing the terminal;
a core-wire housing part continuously formed to the terminal housing part to house the core wire part of the electric wire; and
