ABSTRACT:
A rubber boot (30) is fit on a peripheral surface of a connector housing (10). Wires (90) pulled out of a rear surface of the housing (10) are folded back midway, and a folded region of the electric wires (90) is disposed along a peripheral surface of the boot (30). In this state, a tightening member (50) is tightened to the peripheral surface of the boot (30) to fix the wires (90) and the housing (10) together. A positioning portion (36) for regulating a longitudinal position of the tightening member (50) is provided on the peripheral surface of the boot (30). The phase of the wires (90) and the housing (10) become almost equal to each other when the connector is subjected to vibration. Therefore it is possible to prevent the terminal fittings (60) from vibrating inside the housing (10).
