Abstract
A wire seal formed of an elastic material is fitted to an electrical wire inserted into a housing of a waterproof electrical connector. Specifically, the wire seal is inserted into a cylindrical portion of the connector housing to provide seal. The wire seal includes a seal body having a through-hole through which the electrical wire is inserted, the seal body being fitted in the cylindrical portion of the connector housing, and a cover piece integral with the seal body and extending peripherally of the seal body. The cover piece is in contact with the entire peripheral edge defining an opening of the cylindrical portion of the housing through which the electrical wire is inserted.
