The terminal connecting portion is covered at a rear portion with the molding resin 30 such that the covered rear portion is shaped in fusiform, and when the sheathed wire 10 is bent at this portion, the resin thereon is less peeled off. The molding part 43 of the die 40 is closed at one side with the elastic lid plates 9 a, 9 b opposing at an upper part and a lower part each other, and the terminal connecting portion is set to the molding part 43 , and a part of the sheathed wire 10 extending rearwards from one side of the molding part 43 is elastically held by the elastic lid plates 9 a, 9 b upwards and downwards. The molten molding resin 30 is injected into the molding part 43 to cover almost the whole of the terminal connecting portion. Radiating fins are formed in a slope of the tapered hole in one side of the mold, said radiating fins having a plurality of parallel alternate concave grooves and convex ribs so as to improve the radiating effect of the molding resin 30 and shorten a cooling time.

1. An apparatus for waterproofing a terminal connecting portion of a sheathed wire, in which a terminal fitting and a bare conductor at the sheatned wire are connected with each other, by molding with resin, The apparatus comprising:an upper mold having an inner space which defines an upper part of a molding cavity in Which the terminal connecting portion of the sheathed wire is accommodated and molten resin is injected therein;a lower mold having an inner space which defines a lower part of the molding cavity;an upper elastic lid member provided with the upper mold; anda lower elastic lid member provided with the lower mold, the upper and lower lid member elastically holding the sheathed wire therebetween when the connecting portion thereof is accommodated in the molding cavity,wherein the inner space of the upper mold and the inner space of the lower mold is respectively narrowed toward the upper lid member and the lower lid member such that the molding cavity in the vicinity of the connecting portion of the sheathed wire has a fusiform shape. 2. The waterproofing apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the narrowed portions of the upper and lower molds are provided with radiating fins in which a plurality of concave grooves and convex ribs are alternately arranged. 3. The waterproofing apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the most narrowed portions of the narrowed portions define an aperture having a diameter which is substantially the same as a diameter of the sheathed wire.
