  • Publication number: 20240001870
    Abstract: A grommet includes a base member, an annular water stop member, and a holding mechanism. The base member is made of a synthetic resin material having an insulation property through which a wiring material having electrical conductivity is inserted to be passed through a through hole of an insertion target. The annular water stop member is made of an elastically deformable synthetic resin material softer than the base member, and disposed integrally with the base member. The holding mechanism causes the base member and the water stop member to be held by an annular flat plate part on a periphery of the through hole of the insertion target and an annular projection part that is projected from an end part of an inner peripheral edge of the annular flat plate part toward one hole axis direction of the through hole.
