To further improve environmental resistance performance such as waterproofness of an in-vehicle sensor and an in-vehicle device including the in-vehicle sensor.SOLUTION: A protective cover (6) is configured to protect a connector coupling portion (CC) which is an electrical connection portion between an in-vehicle sensor (2) mounted on a vehicle body component (B) and wiring (W). The protective cover includes a protective portion (63) and a fixing portion (64). The protective portion covers a connector coupling portion that couples a sensor side connector (25) that is provided at an in-vehicle sensor side and extends in an extension direction, and a wiring side connector (4) that is provided at a wiring side and is coupled to the sensor side connector while moving relatively to the sensor side connector in a coupling direction opposite to the extending direction. The fixing portion is provided integrally with the protective portion so as to be fixed to the in-vehicle sensor side.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車載センサおよびこれを含む車載用装置における、防水性等の耐環境性能を、よりいっそう向上すること。【解決手段】保護カバー（６）は、車体部品（Ｂ）に装着される車載センサ（２）と配線（Ｗ）との電気接続部であるコネクタ結合部（ＣＣ）を保護するように構成されている。この保護カバーは、保護部（６３）と固定部（６４）とを備えている。保護部は、車載センサ側に設けられ延設方向に延設されたセンサ側コネクタ（２５）と、配線側に設けられていてセンサ側コネクタに対して延設方向とは反対の結合方向に相対移動しつつセンサ側コネクタと結合される配線側コネクタ（４）とが結合するコネクタ結合部を覆う。固定部は、車載センサ側に固定されるように、保護部と一体に設けられている。【選択図】図１
