  • Publication number: 20240145983
    Abstract: A harness-side connector 2 includes: a connector body 11 connected to a unit-side connector of a hydraulic unit 1; and a slide lock 12 supported by the connector body 11 to be slidable in the upper-lower direction. A sealing clip 3 is attached to the hydraulic unit 1 and the like in the locked state by moving upward while being restricted form movement in a direction intersecting the upper-lower direction. A first claw 29 of the sealing clip 3 is engaged with reinforcing ribs 8 of the hydraulic unit 1, so that the downward movement of the sealing clip 3 with respect to the hydraulic unit 1 and the like is restricted. The contact plate 15 of the sealing clip 3 contacts the slide lock 12 from below, so that the downward movement of the slide lock 12 with respect to the connector body 11 is restricted.
