Abstract

Device-side connectors 14A and 14b are provided on a plurality of electronic control units 10A and 10B, respectively. A harness-side connector 20 is provided at a wire harness 30. The harness-side connector 20 has a plurality of fitting convex portions 21 integrally formed in such a manner as to be connectable to the device-side connectors 14A and 14B. Each of the electronic control units 10A and 10B is accommodated in, for instance, a case 12, so that relative positions of the control units are fixed therein. Thus, the fitting convex portion 21 can be simultaneously coupled to the device-side connectors 14A and 14B.
