Abstract

A waterproof resilient plug (20) has a trunk portion (11) to be brought into close contact with the inner circumferential surface of a terminal insertion hole (C) and a fixing portion (12) extending from the leading end of the trunk (11) and to be pressed against the outer circumferential surface of a wire (W) by insulation barrels (20a). The plug (20) is formed along its longitudinal axis with a wire insertion hole (13) that can be brought into close resilient contact with the outer surface of the (W). An inner diameter of the wire insertion hole (13) aligned with the fixing portion (12) is smaller than the one at the side of trunk (11), whereby the fixing portion (12) can be held strongly in close contact with the outer surface of the wire (W).
