Connector and assembly

An assembly comprising the connector and the electrical wire;

• the connector with which an electrical wire is attachable, the connector being connectable with a mating connector which has a mating contact portion, wherein:
• the connector comprises a housing and at least one terminal;
• the housing holds the at least one terminal;
• the housing is provided with a support;
• the support has a receiving portion;
• the receiving portion is configured to receive a part of the electrical wire;
• the at least one terminal has an insulation displacement connection (IDC) portion, a contact portion, a supporting portion and a coupling portion;
• the IDC portion is configured to be insulation-displacement connected with the electrical wire;
• the contact portion is brought into contact with the mating contact portion when the connector is connected with the mating connector;
• the supporting portion supports the contact portion;
• the support is positioned between the IDC portion and the supporting portion in a first predetermined direction;
• the coupling portion couples the IDC portion and the supporting portion with each other;
• the coupling portion has a neighboring portion;
• and the neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction.

• the coupling portion has a neighboring portion;
• and the neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction;
• wherein the neighboring portion is positioned away from any of the IDC portion and the contact portion in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to both the first predetermined direction and the second predetermined direction;
• wherein the housing has a first horizontal portion;
• the connector further comprises an additional housing;
• the additional housing is combined with the housing in the perpendicular direction;
• the additional housing has a second horizontal portion;
• and the neighboring portion is positioned between the first horizontal portion and the second horizontal portion in the perpendicular direction;
• wherein the housing further has a recess portion and an outer peripheral portion;
• the first horizontal portion is provided in the recess portion;
• the outer peripheral portion is positioned outward beyond the recess portion in a plane which is defined by the first predetermined direction and the second 15 predetermined direction;
• the additional housing further has a protruding portion and a flange portion;
• and the second horizontal portion is provided on the protruding portion;
• wherein the electrical wire is partially sandwiched by the outer peripheral portion and the flange portion.
