Abstract
A connector assembly for a wire harness includes first and second connectors. The connector assembly has a simple structure. The assembly effectively protects electric wires for a wire harness which is provided in a second unit and facilitates to interconnect the first and second connectors when the second unit is coupled to a first unit. In the connector assembly, a protector (WP) for a wire harness includes a protector body (18) which protects the wire harness and a connector holder (20) which supports the second connector (C2) connected to a distal end of the electric wires in the wire harness. The protector (WP) is provided in the second unit while the first connector (C1) to be coupled to the second connector (C2) is secured to the first unit. The securing position is set so that the connectors (C1, C2) are opposed to each other when the units are coupled to each other.
