Abstract: A connector includes a plurality of metal terminal fittings connected to terminals of electric wires, a plurality of molded housings molded to connection parts of the electric wires and the metal terminal fittings to cover the connection parts, and an overmolded housing which accommodates and holds the plurality of molded housings. The plurality of molded housings are molded in a structure integrated by carrier portions that connect the adjacent molded housings to each other and are collectively integrated into the overmolded housing. The carrier portions have cross-section dimensions set to be smaller than those of the molded housing and have flexibility. An arrangement pitch between the adjacent molded housings are adjusted when the plurality of molded housings are collectively integrated into the overmolded housing.
