Patent ID: 8215987

Claim:
A fluidproof connector, comprising: a housing with at least one cavity for receiving at least one terminal fitting; a retainer mounted to the housing for movement between first and second positions and including at least one retaining portion positioned with respect to the cavity at the first position to permit insertion and withdrawal of the terminal fitting into and from the cavity and inserted in the cavity at the second position to retain the terminal fitting properly inserted into the cavity; a resilient plug mounted to the housing and including at least one through hole closely contacting the outer circumferential surface of a wire connected to the terminal fitting after passage of the terminal fitting; and a resilient plug pressing member mounted movably between an initial position and a pushed-in position with respect to the housing and compressing the resilient plug at the pushed-in position, the resilient plug pressing member including at least one arm slidably engaged with the retainer for linking a movement of the retainer from the second position to the first position with a movement of the resilient plug pressing member from the pushed-in position to the initial position, wherein at least one projection is formed on a front surface of the resilient plug with respect to a mounting direction into the housing, at least one recess is formed in a surface of the housing to be held in contact with the resilient plug, and the projection is squeezed and held in close contact with an inner surface of the recess at the pushed-in position.
