Patent ID: 11081835

Abstract:
A connector (10) has a wire, a rubber plug (60) fit on an outer surface of the wire and a housing 20 including a forwardly-open plug accommodating portion (22). The rubber plug (60) is sandwiched between an inner peripheral surface of the plug accommodating portion (22) and the outer surface of the wire. A retainer holds the rubber plug 60 in the plug accommodating portion (22) by being mounted on the plug accommodating portion (22) from the front. The retainer includes deflecting pieces (35) relatively displaceable with respect to the outer surface of the wire and fixing pieces (36) relatively undisplaceable with respect to the wire. The housing (20) includes push-in pieces (25) for pushing the deflecting pieces (35) into the outer surface of the wire. The wire is held in the retainer by the deflecting pieces (35) pushed into the surface of the wire and the fixing pieces (36).
