1. A connector device comprising:
a connector housing having a terminal accommodating chamber;
a terminal configured to be accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber;
an electric wire configured to be connected to the terminal;
a corrosion-proof material to be disposed at a position facing the terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber and a corrosion-proof target portion of the electric wire; and
a corrosion-proof material support portion retaining the corrosion-proof material above the connector housing such that the corrosion-proof material can be moved toward the corrosion-proof target portion,
wherein a melting point of the corrosion-proof material is set to be lower than a melting point of a material forming the connector housing, and the corrosion-proof material is configured to be melted and then cured while covering the corrosion-proof target portion.
