Abstract
A connector 10 is provided with a housing 11 and a rubber plug 12 to be mounted into the housing. The rubber plug 12 includes a plurality of rubber plug members (e.g. a first rubber plug member 12A, a second rubber plug member 12B and a third rubber plug member 12C) configured separately from each other and arranged side by side in a front-rear direction and a sealing hole 40 penetrating through the plurality of rubber plug members in the front-rear direction. An inner peripheral surface of the sealing hole 40 includes at least one lip (e.g. a first lip 43, a second lip 44) projecting inward. The number of the lips formed in each of the rubber plug members is at most 1.
Claims12
