In order to achieve the object that a connector connected with a branch line from the trunk line of a wire harness is fixed to the trunk line utilizing a clamp, a clamp having a rectangular shaped base member is provided. The base member is arranged along one side of the outer periphery of a group of electric wires of the wire harness trunk line, and the opposite ends, in a longitudinal direction of the base member, are fixed to the wire harness by tape wrapping. The clamp also includes an automobile body hooking part protruding from an outer face of the base member, and an electric wire guide protrudes from an inner face of the base member. The wire guide is provided with concave portions for insertion of electric wires, and a connector locking part is provided on the upper face of the electric wire guide. Electric wires are inserted into the concave portions of the electric wire guide and are fixed to the opposite ends of the base member situated on one side of the outer periphery of the electric wire groups. Additionally, the locking part of the connector to be connected with a wire harness branched line terminal is locked to the opposite side of the outer periphery of the electric wire group.
