    Abstract: A connector 11 includes a housing 12, a connector insertion portion 12f arranged in the housing 12 for insertion of a wire-side connector 30 at an end of an electric wire 31, and a connector connection portion (input terminals 14) arranged in the housing 12 for connection with the wire-side connector 30 when the wire-side connector 30 is inserted into the connector insertion portion 12f. The connector 11 includes a latch 20 located on a face of the housing 12 excluding the end face in which the connector insertion portion 12f is arranged such that the latch does not intersect with a hypothetical plane including that end face. The connector 11 also has legs 17. The legs 17 and the connector connection portion (input terminals 14) are each formed by parts of an L-shaped conductive member 15, and the legs 17 also function as electrode terminals.
