The connector includes a wire, a connector housing including a housing body having a wire holding portion for holding an end of the wire, and a cassette continuous with the housing body and having an insertion slot in one surface. A sealing member seals a clearance between the wire holding portion and the wire by being mounted on the wire, and a cover covers the wire holding portion and the wire by being assembled with the connector housing. The cover includes a bracket having an insertion piece to be inserted into the cassette through the insertion slot, the bracket is assembled with the cassette, and a vehicle body mounting portion is connected to the bracket and mounted on the vehicle body.
