Abstract
A seal (30) to be mounted into a rear part of a housing 20 and is formed with seal holes (32) configured to allow wires (26) connected to rear parts of terminal fittings (24) to pass therethrough in a liquid-tight manner. The seal (30) includes a body (31) constituting rear areas (32R) of the seal holes (32) and having an outer peripheral lip (37) formed on an outer periphery. An area between inner peripheries of the seal holes (32) and the outer peripheral lip (37) defines a solid resilient portion (39). Following portions (40) project forwardly of the outer peripheral lip (37) from a front surface of the body (31). The following portions (40) constitute front areas (32F) of the seal holes (32) and are resiliently deformable in directions intersecting a penetrating direction of the seal holes (32).
