Abstract

A waterproof component includes a housing body, a mat seal, mat seal cover, and an elastic ring. The housing body includes an attachment-hole-insertion portion having a mat-seal-accommodating chamber, an abutting portion to abut a first peripheral surface of the attachment hole, a locking claw provided on an insertion tip side of the attachment hole insertion portion, the locking claw to be locked to a second peripheral surface of the attachment hole, and a cover locking portion provided on an insertion tip side of the attachment-hole-insertion portion. The mat seal has an electric wire press-fitting hole. The mat-seal-accommodating chamber accommodates the mat seal. The mat seal cover locks to the cover-locking portion, the mat seal cover interposes the mat seal between the mat seal cover and a bottom wall of the mat-seal-accommodating chamber. The elastic ring is disposed on an outer periphery of the attachment-hole-insertion portion.

Claims (12)

1. A waterproof component configured to insert an electric wire into an attachment hole penetrating a wall portion to lock, the waterproof component comprising:

a housing body including:

an attachment hole insertion portion configured to be inserted into the attachment hole, a mat seal accommodating chamber having a bottom wall being formed inside the attachment hole insertion portion;

an abutting portion configured to abut a first peripheral surface of the attachment hole;

a locking claw provided in an elastically deformable manner on an insertion tip side of the attachment hole insertion portion, the locking claw being configured to be locked to a second peripheral surface of the attachment hole opposite to the first peripheral surface; and

a cover locking portion provided on the insertion tip side of the attachment hole insertion portion;

a mat seal accommodated in the mat seal accommodating chamber, the mat seal having an electric wire press-fitting hole configured to receive an electric wire therein;

a mat seal cover locked to the cover locking portion, the mat seal cover interposing the mat seal between the mat seal cover and the bottom wall to hold the mat seal in the mat seal accommodating chamber; and

an elastic ring disposed on an outer periphery of the attachment hole insertion portion, the elastic ring being in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the attachment hole.

2. The waterproof component according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall portion partitions a side on which the electric wire is connected via a connector to a circuit load side and a power side of the electric wire, and
