ABSTRACT:
A rubber plug (10) is inserted into a cavity (21) of a connector housing (20) after an insulated wire (40) is inserted through a wire insertion hole (11) to provide a watertight seal between an inner wall of the cavity (24) and the insulated wire (40). Frictional resistance between the inner wall of the cavity (24) and the rubber plug (10) is larger than the frictional resistance between the insulated wire (40) and the rubber plug (10). The frictional resistance between the insulated wire (40) and the rubber plug (10) permits movement of the insulated wire (40) relative to the rubber plug (10) when the insulated wire (40) is caused to expand in longitudinal direction by heat.
