Abstract

There is provided a waterproof structure of a wire leading portion. A rubber cap is assembled with wire connected to a circuit board. A housing accommodates the circuit board. A packing holder is accommodated next to the circuit board through an opening of the housing. A packing is assembled on an outer periphery of the packing holder to be in close contact with an inner surface of the housing. The packing holder includes: a rubber cap secession prevention wall formed in a direction that crosses an accommodation direction; a wire insertion hole formed to penetrate the wall; and a rubber cap accommodation chamber communicating with the wire insertion hole and continuing to an inner surface of the wall. The inner surface of the wall and a cross-section of the circuit board are formed to hold the rubber cap that is accommodated in the rubber cap accommodation chamber.
