Abstract:
1. A resilient plug to be mounted on a wire connected with a portion of a terminal fitting and to be at least partly inserted into a cavity of a housing together with the terminal fitting, the cavity having an inner circumferential surface, the resilient plug comprising: a plurality of outer lips to be held in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cavity while being resiliently deformed and a plurality of inner lips to be held in close contact with an outer circumferential surface of the wire while being resiliently deformed; outer virtual deforming portions being defined by areas of each of the outer lips not resiliently deformed radially outward of a virtual line corresponding to the inner circumferential surface of the cavity in a cross section including axis lines of the resilient plug and the cavity; inner virtual deforming portions being defined by areas of each of the inner lips not resiliently deformed radially inward of a virtual line corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the wire in an undeformed state in the cross section including axis lines of the resilient plug and the wire; and at least a part of each of the inner virtual deforming portions being arranged to correspond to only a part of any one of the outer virtual deforming portion in a longitudinal direction and at least one of the inner virtual deforming portions being arranged to correspond to parts of two of the outer virtual deforming portions.
