1. A connector, comprising:
a terminal fitting;
an electric wire connected to the terminal fitting;
a housing including a cylindrical wall portion that accommodates the terminal fitting and is provided with a location to be fitted with a mating part;
a seal member disposed to surround an outer periphery of the cylindrical wall portion;
a front holder having a hollow annular shape, being configured to prevent the seal member from coming off from the cylindrical wall portion and attached to the cylindrical wall portion to surround the outer periphery of the cylindrical wall portion, wherein
the front holder includes:
a pair of first locking portions arranged to face with each other in a radial direction of the front holder and engageable with the cylindrical wall portion; and
a pair of operating portions arranged to face with each other in the radial direction at positions different from the pair of first locking portions; and
when the front holder is fitted externally on the cylindrical wall portion and the pair of first locking portions is engaged with the cylindrical wall portion, displacing the pair of operating portions to approach with each other in the radial direction causes the pair of first locking portions to disengage from the cylindrical wall portion and release the front holder from the housing.
