Abstract

Terminals connected to wires pass through insertion holes of a holder and the segment holes of a seal member, and are held in the receptors of a connector housing in a state such that the seal member is housed in a recess of a seal setting portion of the connector housing. A pressing portion of the holder containing indents compresses the seal member to thereby reduce the respective sizes of the segment holes of the seal member so as deform the segment holes to shrink in conformity with the outer shape of the inserted wires.
