Each of two plug connectors includes a main body configured to retain a plurality of electric wires and a pair of push members protruding from both sides of the main body along a first direction. In connector mating operation, the two plug connectors are respectively inserted into associated receptacle connectors in a state where the two plug connectors are mechanically coupled or bound to a relative positional relationship by a jig in a position where the pair of push members in one of the two plug connectors are displaced from the pair of push members in the other of the two plug connectors along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

A harness clamp includes a harness clamp body including a base part, an upright part, a fixing part, a folding back part, a first elongated part, and a second elongated part. A distal end of the second elongated part and the upright part define a first gap. A fourth bent part and the base part define a second gap. The base, folding back, and first elongated parts define a first clamp space to clamp a harness. The base, upright, and second elongated parts define a second clamp space to clamp the harness deformed through the second gap from the first clamp space. Where a length of the first gap is A, a length of the second gap is B, a diameter of the harness is ϕ, and a maximum diameter of the deformed harness is a, a relationship that B<ϕ and A<a is satisfied.
