Abstract
A connector (F) includes a housing (10), and terminal accommodating chambers (13) are formed in the housing (10). Terminal fittings (72) are fixed individually fixed to front end parts of the wires (71) and are inserted into the respective terminal accommodating chambers (13) from behind. Rubber plugs (61) are fit externally on the front end parts of the wires (71) and are configured to seal clearances between outer peripheries of the wires (71) and inner peripheries of the terminal accommodating chambers (13). Vibration damping rings (64) are formed on rear end parts of the rubber plugs (61). Vibration damping rings adjacent to each other are held resiliently held in contact with each other.
Claims8
A connector, comprising:
- a housing with opposite front and rear ends, a holding hole extending into the rear end of the housing and terminal accommodating chambers formed in the housing and extending from the holding hole to the front end of the housing;
- terminal fittings individually fixed to wires and being inserted through the holding hole and inserted individually into the respective terminal accommodating chambers;
- resilient members fit externally on the wires, each of the resilient members having a sealing portion configured to seal clearances between outer peripheries of the wires and inner peripheries of the terminal accommodating chambers;
- and
- vibration damping rings formed on each of the resilient members, the vibration damping rings of all of the resilient members being disposed in the holding hole, and the vibration damping rings that are adjacent to each other in the holding hole being held resiliently in contact with each other.
