1. A wire harness, comprising:
a first connector including a first housing and first terminals, the first housing including a first opening, and the first terminals being held by the first housing;
a second connector including a second housing and second terminals, the second housing including a second opening, and the second terminals being held by the second housing; and
electric wires connecting the first terminals and the second terminals, respectively, wherein
the first terminals project into the first opening in a first direction, which is a direction parallel to a projecting direction of the first terminals, and are arranged next to each other at a first interval in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, and
the second terminals project into the second opening in the first direction and are arranged next to each other at a second interval in the second direction,
the first interval differs from the second interval,
the electric wires have the same length,
the electric wires include first connection portions, respectively connected to the first terminals, and second connection portions, respectively connected to the second terminals,
the second connection portions are arranged next to each other in the second direction,
for each of the electric wires, a second direction distance is defined as a distance between the first connection portion and the corresponding second connection portion in the second direction, while a first direction distance is defined as a distance between the first connection portion and the corresponding second connection portion in the first direction, and
for each electric wire, the first connection portion is arranged so that as the second direction distance increases, the first direction distance decreases.
