Abstract
A wire fixing portion ( ) prevents an electric wire ( ) from withdrawing from a wire receiving groove ( ). The wire fixing portion ( ) includes retaining pawls ( ), an engagement member ( ), etc. The retaining pawl ( ) is elastically deformable between a restriction position in which the retaining pawl ( ) retains the electric wire ( ) to thereby restrict the electric wire from withdrawing from the wire receiving groove ( ), and an allowable position in which the electric wire is allowed to withdraw from the wire receiving groove ( ). The engagement member ( ) engages with the retaining pawls ( ) to thereby hold the retaining pawls ( ) at the restriction position. When the engagement member engages between the retaining pawls ( ), a gap ( ) between the pair of the retaining pawls ( ) extended upward from the both edges of the wire receiving groove ( ) becomes narrower.
