ABSTRACT:
Resilient deformation of a rubber plug (13) can be absorbed by a housing-side groove (28A) and a holder-side groove (28B) formed to surround all wire insertion holes (24), thereby preventing the displacements of the wire insertion holes (24). Thus, a reduction in operability at the time of inserting female terminal fittings (12) and wires (20) through the rubber plug (13) can be avoided. Further, a housing-side pressing portion (22A) and a holder-side pressing portion (22B) are pressed into the housing-side groove (28A) and the holder-side groove (28B) over the entire periphery to press the rubber plug (13) into contact with the inner surface of an accommodation recess (21), sealability between a housing (11) and the rubber plug (13) can be ensured.
