Abstract
A connector is provided with a flexible wire, a terminal to be connected to the wire, and a housing for accommodating the wire and the terminal. The housing includes a housing body for accommodating the wire and a holder for accommodating and holding the terminal. The holder is configured to be swingable in a plane direction together with the terminal with respect to the housing body by being attached to the housing body with a play between the housing body and the holder. The wire extends to the outside of the housing body in an extending direction intersecting a Z-axis direction and is slidable in the extending direction with respect to the housing body, following a swinging motion of the terminal. A gap for allowing the wire to be bent, following a swinging motion of the terminal, is provided between the housing body and the wire.
