Abstract
A waterproof plug (10) for a waterproof connector includes a body (11) of a generally cylindrical shape. A wire (28) can be inserted into the body to be projected therefrom, and an outer peripheral surface (12) of the body can be press-contacted with an inner peripheral surface (23) of a cavity (22), while an inner peripheral surface (13) of the body can be press-contacted with the wire (28), and an insulation barrel (26) of a terminal (25) can compressively clamp the wire (28) through the body. An insertion hole (16) in the body is tapering such that a thickness t of a clamping portion (18) of the body is uniform along an axis thereof.
