Abstract
To achieve the sealability of a connector in a favorable condition, at the rear end of an inner casing provided therein with a press-connecting female terminal which is press-connected with cable, an elastic plug is mounted, and an inner casing and the elastic plug are housed in a housing area of an outer casing. The elastic plug is housed in an elastically compressed condition on an inner peripheral side of a tubular portion, and the tubular portion is deformed outwardly by its elastic force. A pressing member provided with a control piece is mounted on the rear end of the tubular portion. Because the control piece is pressed down by sandwiching from the outer peripheral side of the upper wall and lower wall of the tubular portion, the outwardly deformed portions of the tubular portion are controlled and can return to nearly their original shape.
