The movable housing includes a main body portion for insertion in a loose-fit state into an insertion hole of the fixed housing, and a protrusion portion projecting from the main body portion. In the state where the main body portion has been inserted into the insertion hole, the protrusion portion projects from the main body portion along a perpendicular direction that is perpendicular to both the insertion direction and the width direction. When the main body portion becomes displaced in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, the movement restricting member restricts the amount of displacement of the movable housing by abutting against the protrusion portion.
