Abstract
A connector is used to bring a harness from a level sensor that is arranged in the oil pan and detects a level of oil in the oil pan, out of the oil pan. The connector includes a contact that is electrically connected to the level sensor, and a housing that retains the contact. The housing includes a housing portion that is housed in the connector mounting hole, and a clip attaching groove and a flange portion that are arranged sandwiching the housing portion. A clip and the flange portion sandwich the oil pan, such that the connector is attached to the oil pan, by the housing portion being housed in the connector mounting hole, and the clip being attached to the clip attaching groove.
