The aligning member defines a plurality of through holes arranged in parallel in the first direction and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The through holes allow the connecting portions to be inserted therethrough. The aligning member includes a comb-like portion formed at one end in a third direction perpendicular to the first and the second directions and adapted to hold the wires, and a plurality of positioning portions formed at the other end in the third direction and arranged in parallel in the first direction. The positioning portions are for positioning the wires.
