a substantially cylindrical case;
connector-side terminals introduced into the substantially cylindrical case; and
a sealing material formed in the vicinity of an end of the substantially cylindrical case on a plug insertion side so as to protrude to the plug insertion side, and formed around an outer circumference of the substantially cylindrical case, wherein:
a first convex stripe is formed along an inner circumference of a protruding section of the sealing material, wherein the first convex stripe is formed to be circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an outer circumferential surface of a part of a cover to be inserted; and
a second convex stripe is formed along an outer circumference of the sealing material, wherein the second convex stripe is formed so as to be circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an inner circumferential surface of a mounting part of a housing of the electronic device.
2. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first convex stripe is formed into a substantially dorsal fin shape in the cross sectional view with a front side thereof disposed to the plug insertion side.
3. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second convex stripe is formed in a position drawn to a side opposite to the plug insertion side more than the first convex stripe.
4. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a convex being shorter than the second convex stripe is formed along the outer circumference of the sealing material in a position drawn to the plug insertion side more than the second convex stripe.
5. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein another sealing material is provided behind the case.
6. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first convex stripe is formed to be circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with both an outer circumferential surface of a part of an inserted plug and an outer circumferential surface of a part of the cover to be inserted.
7. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the first convex stripe is formed into a substantially dorsal fin shape in the cross sectional view with a front side thereof disposed to the plug insertion side.
8. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein another sealing material is provided behind the case.
9. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the case is made of a resin and the sealing material is made of a softer resin than the resin of the case.
10. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein a non-protruding section of the sealing material made of the softer resin is welded to the case made of the resin.
11. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the case is made of a resin and the sealing material is made of a softer resin than the resin of the case.
12. The connector of an electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein a non-protruding section of the sealing material made of the softer resin is welded to the case made of the resin.
13. A plug of an electronic device to be inserted into a connector, the connector comprising:
a substantially cylindrical case;
connector-side terminals introduced into the substantially cylindrical case;
a sealing material that is formed in the vicinity of an end of the substantially cylindrical case on a plug insertion side so as to protrude to the plug insertion side, and that is formed around an outer circumference of the substantially cylindrical case;
a first convex stripe formed along an inner circumference of an protruding section of the sealing material, wherein a plug is inserted in such a manner that the first convex stripe is circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an outer circumferential surface of a part of the plug; and
a second convex stripe is formed along an outer circumference of the sealing material, wherein the second convex stripe is formed so as to be circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an inner circumferential surface of a mounting part of a housing of the electronic device.
14. A waterproof structure of electronic device comprising:
a substantially cylindrical case;
connector-side terminals introduced into the substantially cylindrical case;
a connector composed of a sealing material that is formed in the vicinity of an end of the substantially cylindrical case on a plug insertion side so as to protrude to the plug insertion side, and that is formed around an outer circumference of the substantially cylindrical case, and a cover to be partially inserted into the connector, wherein:
a first convex stripe is formed along an inner circumference of an protruding section of the sealing material wherein the first convex stripe is circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an outer circumferential surface of a part of the cover to be inserted into the connector; and
a second convex stripe is formed along an outer circumference of the sealing material, wherein the second convex stripe is formed so as to be circumferentially pressed against and brought into contact with an inner circumferential surface of a mounting part of a housing of the electronic device.
