Abstract
A rubber plug includes a seal portion and an extension portion. Inner and outer peripheral lips form respective water-tight seals between the rubber plug and a cavity, and the rubber plug and a wire. The extension portion extends from the seal portion toward an open end of the cavity. When a bending force acts on the wire, the extension portion slightly deforms elastically, Put the seal portion will not be deformed. Therefore, the water-tight condition between the cavity and the wire is maintained. Therefore, even when a bending force acts on the wire, water is prevented from intruding into the cavity.
