Provided is a connector including a housing and a holding member to be mounted to the housing, wherein the holding member holds a conductive member in which a reinforcement plate is arranged on the other surface on an opposite side of one surface on which a plurality of conductors arrayed adjacent to each other in a width direction is exposed planarly on one end side in a length direction, as a laminate of the conductive member and the reinforcement plate, and the holding member is laid across in a band-like manner along the width direction at an intermediate position between the one end side and the other end side in the length direction with respect to the laminate.
