Abstract

A connector (10) has terminals (30) connected to wires (W), a housing (20) configured to accommodate the terminals (30), a retainer (40) configured to accommodate the wires (W) while retaining the terminals (30) accommodated in terminal accommodating portions (22) of the housing (20), a temperature sensor (60) to be accommodated in a sensor accommodating portion (56) in the retainer (40) and a holder (80) to be assembled with the retainer (40). The holder (80) has a large divided body (75) and two small divided bodies (70) coupled to the large divided body (75) via hinges (72). The small divided bodies (70) and the large divided body (75) retain the temperature sensor (60) in the sensor accommodating portion (56) while the wires (W) are inserted between the small divided bodies (70) and the large divided body (75).
