A mold for forming a housing having a lance includes a first mold and a second mold. The lance has a first projection for engaging a terminal and a second projection provided at a position nearer with an end of the lance than the first projection. The first mold includes a first member having a third projection. The second mold includes a second member and a third member. The second member has a first concave portion into which the third projection is inserted. The third member is configured to be moved with respect to the second member. The second member defines, with the first member, a first space where the housing is adapted to be formed. The third member defines, with the first member, a second space where the first projection and the second projection are adapted to be formed.

A short chain-like ferrule structureincludes a plurality of ferrules, and an interconnecting portioninterconnecting the plurality of ferrules. This ferrule structure includes a connection portionprovided at that portion of the interconnecting portionprojecting from the ferruledisposed at one end portion of the ferrule structure, and a connection reception portionwhich is provided at that portion of the interconnecting portionprojecting from the ferruledisposed at the other end portion of the ferrule structure, and is engageable with the connection portionof another short chain-like ferrule structure. Projectionsare formed at the connection portion, and project from the interconnecting portion, and holesfor the passage of the projectionsof another short chain-like ferrule structure therethrough are formed in the connection reception portion, and extend through the interconnecting portion. The connection portionand the connection reception portionprovided respectively at any two adjacent short chain-like ferrule structuresbeforehand molded are connected together, thereby forming a chain-like ferrule structure
