A lever connection type waterproofing connector includes a female connector housing, an engagement ring insertable into an inlet portion of the female connector housing, a sealing member, a lever rotatably supported on the female connector housing, and a male connector housing adapted to be connected to and disconnected from the female connector housing. To assure that the male connector housing can be properly connected to the female connector housing regardless of thermal deformation of the engagement ring, the waterproofing connector further includes two elongated cutout portions formed on the opposite sides of each receiving slit and extending in parallel with the receiving slit, two return stoppers disposed at the terminal ends of the cutout portions, two protuberances formed on the engagement ring, and two engagement portions integral with the engagement protuberance and having an engagement hole formed therethrough. Alternatively, the waterproofing connector may further include two engagement grooves recessed on the opposite sides of each receiving slit and extending in parallel with the receiving slit, two return stoppers disposed at the terminal ends of the engagement grooves, two engagement portions formed on the engagement ring, and two engagement pawls integrated with the engagement portions.
