Original Abstract Submitted
Separation of housings in a stacked state can be suppressed. A connector () is provided with housings () to be stacked on each other, terminal fittings () to be accommodated into the respective housings (), wires () fixed to the terminal fittings () and drawn out rearward, and a rear wall portion (). The rear wall portion () includes a through hole () for allowing passage of the wires () and is molded as a single part. The rear wall portion () is formed with first separation restricting portions () and second separation restricting portions () for restricting separation of the wires () arranged in a stacking direction of the respective housings () from the other wires () in an opposite direction along the stacking direction.
