Connector

A connector comprising:

• a housing comprising a terminal accommodating chamber configured to accommodate a terminal connected to an end of an electric wire, and a tubular portion provided so as to surround an insertion opening, through which the terminal enters the terminal accommodating chamber, the tubular portion comprising an opening portion;
• a water stop member configured to be inserted from the opening portion of the tubular portion, the water stop member configured to prevent water from passing through the insertion opening;
• and
• a holding member configured to be inserted from the opening portion such that the water stop member is placed between the insertion opening and the holding member, the holding member retaining the water stop member in position inside the tubular portion,
• wherein the holding member comprises a projection protruding from an outer surface of the holding member toward an inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion at an end portion of the holding member, the end portion being closer to the opening portion of the tubular portion than another end portion of the holding member is to the opening portion of the tubular portion when the holding member is fitted in the tubular portion,
• wherein the projection is configured to contact, when the holding member is fitted in the tubular portion, in a pressing manner with the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion, and
• wherein the holding member has a columnar shape corresponding to a shape of the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion, and the projection is provided on at least one corner portion of the holding member.
