　図３には、第２ホルダ２２を誤って第１組付部２７に組み付けようとした状態を示している。この場合、第１被連結部５１に第２連結部４３を連結すべく第２ホルダ２２の位置を合わせて、第２ホルダ２２を高さ方向Ｚの下方（第１組付部２７に向かう方向）に組み付けるようにする。このとき、前述の長さＬ１，Ｌ２の関係から、第２ホルダ２２の側壁部４２の下端部が、プロテクタ本体２０の第１上枠部２６ｃに当接する。それにより、第２ホルダ２２がそれ以上、組付方向に変位できないようになっている。 FIG. 3 shows a state in which the second holder 22 is erroneously tried to be assembled to the first assembly portion 27. In this case, the position of the second holder 22 is aligned with the first connected portion 51 to connect the second connecting portion 43, and the second holder 22 is positioned below the height direction Z (direction toward the first assembled portion 27). ). At this time, due to the relationship of the lengths L1 and L2 described above, the lower end portion of the side wall portion 42 of the second holder 22 comes into contact with the first upper frame portion 26c of the protector main body 20. As a result, the second holder 22 cannot be further displaced in the assembly direction.
　本実施形態の効果について説明する。 The effect of this embodiment will be described.
　（１）プロテクタ本体２０は、第２ホルダ２２の第２連結部４３を第１被連結部５１に連結させようとしたときに第２ホルダ２２に当接して第２ホルダ２２の組付方向への変位を規制する規制部としての第１上枠部２６ｃを備える。従って、第２ホルダ２２を第１組付部２７に組み付けようとしたとき、第２ホルダ２２の第２連結部４３が第１被連結部５１に連結される前に、第１上枠部２６ｃによって第２コネクタ１３の組付方向への変位を規制することが可能となる。これにより、第１ホルダ２１を組み付けるべき第１組付部２７に第２ホルダ２２を組み付けてしまう誤組付を防止することが可能となる。 (1) The protector main body 20 comes into contact with the second holder 22 when the second connecting portion 43 of the second holder 22 is to be connected to the first connected portion 51, and moves in the assembling direction of the second holder 22. A first upper frame portion 26c is provided as a regulating portion for regulating the displacement of the above. Therefore, when the second holder 22 is to be assembled to the first assembling portion 27, the first upper frame portion 26c is before the second connecting portion 43 of the second holder 22 is connected to the first connected portion 51. This makes it possible to regulate the displacement of the second connector 13 in the assembling direction. This makes it possible to prevent erroneous assembly in which the second holder 22 is assembled to the first assembly portion 27 to which the first holder 21 should be assembled.
　（２）規制部としての第１上枠部２６ｃは、プロテクタ本体２０の第２外壁２６の一部からなる。この構成によれば、第２外壁２６の一部を上記のような規制部として機能させることで、規制部を第２外壁２６とは別に設定する必要がなくなり、構成の簡素化に寄与できる。 (2) The first upper frame portion 26c as a regulation portion is composed of a part of the second outer wall 26 of the protector main body 20. According to this configuration, by making a part of the second outer wall 26 function as the regulation unit as described above, it is not necessary to set the regulation unit separately from the second outer wall 26, which can contribute to the simplification of the configuration.
　（３）第２外壁２６は、第１コネクタ１１と接続する相手側コネクタが挿入される第１開口部２６ａを有する。そして、規制部としての第１上枠部２６ｃは、第１開口部２６ａを形成する枠部の一部からなる。この構成によれば、第２外壁２６における第１開口部２６ａを形成する枠部の一部によって、第２ホルダ２２の組付方向への変位を規制することができる。 (3) The second outer wall 26 has a first opening 26a into which a mating connector to be connected to the first connector 11 is inserted. The first upper frame portion 26c as the regulating portion is formed of a part of the frame portion forming the first opening 26a. According to this configuration, the displacement of the second holder 22 in the assembling direction can be regulated by a part of the frame portion forming the first opening 26a in the second outer wall 26.
　（４）第１被連結部５１の係止凸部５３から規制部としての第１上枠部２６ｃまでの長さＬ１は、第２連結部４３の係止凸部４５から第２ホルダ２２の前端部２２ａ（より詳しくは側壁部４２の前端部）までの長さＬ２よりも短く設定されている。この構成によれば、第２ホルダ２２の第２連結部４３をプロテクタ本体２０の第１被連結部５１に連結させようとしたときに、第２ホルダ２２が第１上枠部２６ｃに当接する構成となる。 (4) The length L1 from the locking convex portion 53 of the first connected portion 51 to the first upper frame portion 26c as the regulating portion is from the locking convex portion 45 of the second connecting portion 43 to the second holder 22.
