To avoid the use of a large connector.SOLUTION: A connector includes a terminal fitting 10, a housing 20, a front holder 60 into which a fitting part 21 of the housing is inserted along an insertion direction of the fitting part to a mating fitting part 521, and an annular water cut-off member 44 to seal an annular gap between a projecting portion 21a1 projecting from the front holder on an outer peripheral wall surface 21a of the fitting part and an inner peripheral wall surface 521a of the mating fitting part. The front holder has a locked part 65b protruding toward the outer peripheral wall surface of the fitting part, the water cut-off member has a locked part 46b protruding toward the inner side than the inner peripheral surface. The fitting part has a communication locking part 21b provided in a state of communication between a first locking part 65a for causing the locked part of the front holder to be inserted and causing movement of the locked part in the insertion direction to be locked and a second locking part 46a for causing the locked part of the water cut-off member to be inserted and causing movement of the water cut-off member related to the locked part in a circumferential direction to be locked.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】体格の大型化を抑えること。【解決手段】端子金具１０と、ハウジング２０と、相手方嵌合部５２１に対するハウジングの嵌合部２１の挿入方向に沿って当該嵌合部が挿入されるフロントホルダ６０と、嵌合部の外周壁面２１ａにおけるフロントホルダからの突出部分２１ａ１と相手方嵌合部の内周壁面５２１ａとの間の環状の隙間を塞ぐ環状の止水部材４４と、を備え、フロントホルダは、嵌合部の外周壁面側に向けて突出させた被係止部６５ｂを有し、止水部材は、内周面よりも内側に突出させた被係止部４６ｂを有し、嵌合部は、フロントホルダの被係止部を挿入させ且つ当該被係止部の前記挿入方向側への動きを係止する第１係止部６５ａと、止水部材の被係止部を挿入させ且つ当該被係止部における止水部材の周方向への動きを係止する第２係止部４６ａと、が連通状態で設けられた連通係止部２１ｄを有すること。【選択図】図３
