Abstract: Provided is a branch connector capable of achieving desired waterproofing functionality by supporting the waterproofing gel in a compressing manner, while stably maintaining a closed state by reducing repulsive force acting in an opening direction of a pair of split housings. The pair of split housings (a first split housing (10) and a second split housing (20)) includes a gel-escaping space (Z), formed around a gel-supporting space (Y), for accommodating portions of waterproofing gels (a first waterproofing gel (70) and a second waterproofing gel (80)) pushed out of the gel-supporting space (Y).
