a plurality of wires to be respectively connected to the terminals, the plurality of wires being parallel to each other; and
a housing made of resin, the plurality of terminals and the plurality of wires being embedded in the housing,
the housing including:
a body portion for collectively covering the plurality of terminals;
a plurality of projecting portions projecting from the body portion to individually cover the plurality of wires, the plurality of projecting portions being provided at intervals from each other in an arrangement direction of the plurality of wires; and
a first coupling portion for partially coupling two projecting portions adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction, the first coupling portion being provided at a position away from the body portion in a projecting direction of the projecting portions,
wherein when the projecting direction of the projecting portion is merely referred to as a projecting direction, the first coupling portion is provided at a position closer to a tip than an intermediate part between a base end and the tip of the projecting portion in the projecting direction.
