## Abstract

A rubber plug holding structure for a terminal. The structure includes an electric wire that has a core wire and an insulating coating which coats the core wire; a rubber plug through which the electric wire is inserted and which seals a gap with the electric wire; and a terminal that has a first press-fastening piece which press-fastens an outer periphery of the rubber plug. The terminal also has a second press-fastening piece that is formed from a portion of the terminal which remains after cutting a connecting piece serving as a connecting portion of a carrier when the terminal is formed from a chain terminal. The second press fastening piece is press-fastened against a part of the outer periphery of the rubber plug.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A rubber plug holding structure for a terminal comprising:
an electric wire that includes a core wire and an insulating coating that coats the core wire;
a rubber plug through which the electric wire is inserted and which seals a gap with the electric wire; and
a terminal that has a first press-fastening piece which press-fastens an outer periphery of the rubber plug, wherein
the terminal includes a second press-fastening piece, the second press-fastening piece being formed of a portion of the terminal which remains after cutting a connecting piece serving as a connecting portion of a carrier when the terminal is formed from a chain terminal, the second press-fastening piece press-fastening a part of the outer periphery of the rubber plug, and the second press-fastening piece is formed in a convex shape when viewed in cross-section.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The rubber plug holding structure for a terminal according to claim 1, wherein
the second press-fastening piece extends continuously on a rear edge side of a bottom plate of the terminal and is folded inward toward the rubber plug from the rear edge of the bottom plate.
