ABSTRACT:
A watertight plug 1 comprises a main body 4 having circular ribs 2 on its outside surface and a wire-insertion section having a cylindrical section 12 into which a wire 90 is inserted and an additional circular rib 14 which extends in the same direction as the cylindrical section 12 in radial and backward directions from the area behind the circular ribs 2. The displacement of the cylindrical section 12 caused by the bending of the wire 90 when the plug is inserted in a cavity 102 of a housing 100 does not seriously affect the additional rib 14, thus making it possible to retain water tightness. Axially extending ribs 52, extending between the circular ribs, increase the rigidity of the circular ribs 2 and 14 without adversely increasing the force required to insert the plug into a cavity 102 in an electrical connector.
