A connector includes a housing having a sub-connector accommodation hole passing through in a forward and backward direction, and a sub-connector having a cavity passing through in the forward and backward direction and assembled by being inserted into the sub-connector accommodation hole of the housing from a backward direction while a terminal connected to a wire being inserted into the cavity. A lance with flexibility to be locked with the terminal is formed on an inner wall of the cavity and in a case of halfway insertion of the terminal into the cavity. The lance projects outward from the sub-connector to abut, at an angle, against an opening exterior edge of the sub-connector accommodation hole.

An electrical wire protective cover is assembled to a connector to cover an electrical wire pulled out of the connector. The electrical wire protective cover includes: a cover body configured to receive the electrical wire and having a wire receiving channel with an opening along a wire extending direction of the electrical wire; and a temporary wire retaining piece protruding from the cover body in a direction narrowing the opening of the wire receiving channel, and configured to allow the electrical wire to be inserted by a bending deformation of the temporary wire retaining piece into an inside of the wire receiving channel and prevent a movement of the electrical wire received in the wire receiving channel to an outside of the wire receiving channel.
