Abstract
In the case where the cable CA is passed through the hole of the sealing tube and connected to the plug contact terminal and the socket contact terminal, when the female threaded portions and of the stepped pressure nut members and are respectively screwed onto the male threaded portions and of the plug housing and the socket housing, the outer periphery of the cable CA inside the plug housing and the socket housing is sealed by way of the pressing pieces and the sealing tube being pressed.
Claims6
A waterproof structure for a cable connector comprising:
- a housing that detachably houses a contact terminal connected to an end of a cable;
- a sealing cylinder that is disposed in said housing and holds, inside a plurality of pressing pieces, a sealing tube mounted on the outer periphery of the cable inserted into said housing;
- and
- a pressing member that presses the plurality of pressing pieces of said sealing cylinder, and said sealing tube, toward the outer periphery of said cable inside said housing, when the contact terminal connected to the end of said cable is housed in said housing;
- wherein engagement nibs, respectively formed on at least one pair of pressing pieces among the plurality of pressing pieces of said sealing cylinder, movably engage said pressing member.

A plug connector comprising:
- a plug housing that detachably houses a plug contact terminal, which is connected to an end of a cable and has a rod-shaped contact end;
- a sealing tube mounted on the outer periphery of the cable inserted into said plug housing;
- a sealing cylinder that is disposed in said plug housing and holds said sealing tube inside a plurality of pressing pieces;
- and
- a pressing member that presses the plurality of pressing pieces of said sealing cylinder, and said sealing tube, toward the outer periphery of said cable inside said plug housing, when the plug contact terminal connected to the end of said cable is housed in said plug housing;
- wherein engagement nibs, respectively formed on at least one pair of pressing pieces among the plurality of pressing pieces of said sealing cylinder, movably engage said pressing member.
