Abstract

A connecting structure includes a unit body including a case having an electronic-component housing concave portion and a fitting-connection concave portion and an electronic component housed in the electronic-component housing concave portion and making a first connecting portion in the fitting-connection concave portion; an electric wire having an electric-wire side terminal in the middle of the electric wire in an electric-wire direction; and a cover member having an electric wire housing portion held on the electric wire so as to overlie an area of the electric-wire side terminal and a cover side fitting part to be fitted in the fitting-connection concave portion. In such a configuration, after the cover member is previously assembled with the electric wire to form a cover-assembled wire, the cover-assembled wire is fit in the fitting-connection concave portion and simultaneously therewith the first connecting portion is connected to the electric wire side terminal.
