Connector and connector manufacturing method

A connector that is attached to a connector attachment hole formed in a tire wheel for connection between an electric circuit inside a tire and an electric circuit outside the tire, the connector comprising:

• a tubular terminal that penetrates the connector attachment hole;
• an outer seal member that surrounds outside of the tubular terminal and is elastically deformed by being pressed against the tire wheel to provide a seal between the tire wheel and the tubular terminal;
• an inner seal member that is filled inside the tubular terminal;
• one or more rod-shaped terminals that penetrate the inner seal member;
• a plurality of communication holes formed at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction in an intermediate portion in an axial direction of the tubular terminal;
• and
• a plurality of seal communication portions that is integrally formed with one or both of the outer seal member and the inner seal member and arranged in the plurality of communication holes to transmit, to the inner seal member, elastic force toward the tubular terminal due to the elastic deformation of the outer seal member.
