Abstract
In order to provide watertight properties between a spring socket ( ) and a release socket ( ) for a plug of a push-pull connector, a bellows expansion joint ( ) is provided between the spring and release sockets. When the two sockets are spaced apart, the bellows expansion joint is in the rest (non-stressed) position. When the release socket is driven closer to the spring socket, a stress is exerted on the bellows expansion joint ( ). This helps to force back the release socket. By this structure, improvements are shown in the vibration resistance and, at the same time, in the watertightness of the plug of a push-pull connector.
