To provide a connector which avoids the increase of the size thereof, and furthermore in which excessive increase of operation temperature of a terminal can be suppressed.SOLUTION: A connector 1 comprises: an electric wire 2; a terminal 10 connected to the electric wire 2; a housing 20 which includes in the inside thereof, a housing space 31a housing a connection place of the electric wire 2 and the terminal 10; a sealing member 93 which seals an opening of a housing space 31a in such a manner that the connection place housed in the housing space 31a is separated from outside; and a cylindrical heat storage member 95 arranged in the housing space 31a in such a manner that the cylindrical heat storage member 95 surrounds the connection place. The heat storage member 95 includes a plurality of components each of which includes a first component 95z constituting a part of the heat storage member 95 in a peripheral direction of the heat storage member 95 and a second component 95z constituting the other portion, and the heat storage member 95 is constituted by assembling the plurality of components.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】コネクタの大型化を避けながら端子の動作温度の過度な上昇を抑制可能なコネクタを提供すること。【解決手段】コネクタ１は、電線２と、電線２に接続される端子１０と、電線２と端子１０との接続箇所を収容する収容空間３１ａを内部に有するハウジング２０と、収容空間３１ａに収容される接続箇所を外部から隔離するように収容空間３１ａの開口部分を封止するシール部材９３と、接続箇所を取り囲むように収容空間３１ａ内に配置される筒状の蓄熱部材９５と、を備える。蓄熱部材９５は、蓄熱部材９５の周方向における蓄熱部材９５の一部を構成する第１部品９５ｚと他の一部を構成する第２部品９５ｚとを含む複数の部品を有し、前記複数の部品を組み付けて構成される。【選択図】図５
