Abstract

A waterproof plug for a waterproof connector, includes a body portion which has a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a first end and a second end which is opposite side of the first end, and an enlarged portion, which is formed on the first end of the body portion in coaxial relation thereto. A slanting face is formed on an outer face of the enlarged portion so that the enlarged portion decreases in a diameter from a side of the second end to a side of the first end.

Claims (10)

1. A waterproof plug for a waterproof connector, comprising;

a body portion, which has a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a first end and a second end which is opposite side of the first end; and

an enlarged portion, which is formed on the first end of the body portion in coaxial relation thereto,

wherein a slanting face is formed on an outer face of the enlarged portion so that the enlarged portion decreases in a diameter from a side of the second end toward a side of the first end, wherein said waterproof plug is inserted into a cable receiving hole of an elastic plug as a substitute for a cable and the slanting face contacts a housing in which the elastic plug is received.

2. A waterproof plug for a waterproof connector including a housing and an elastic plug, the housing having a receiving chamber for receiving a terminal connected to a cable, an opening, a communication portion through which the opening and the receiving chamber communicate with each other, and a slanting portion formed between the communication portion and the receiving chamber, and the elastic plug having a through hole for being passed through the cable and the elastic plug being press-fitted in the communication portion, the waterproof plug, comprising:

a body portion, which has a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a first end and a second end which is opposite side of the first end; and

an enlarged portion, which is formed on the first end of the body portion in coaxial relation thereto,

wherein a slanting face is formed on an outer face of the enlarged portion so as to correspond to the slanting portion so that the enlarged portion decreases in a diameter from a side of the second end toward a side of the first end;

wherein instead of the cable, the body portion is fitted in the through hole of the elastic plug; and

wherein the slanting face of the enlarged portion is brought into contact with the slanting portion of the housing when the elastic plug is press-fitted in the communication portion of the housing.
