Claim:
A harness comprising: a cable comprising a plurality of conductors surrounded by an insulating covering and arrayed in a substantially flat configuration; and a plurality of connectors installed at locations along the longitudinal direction of said cable and comprising connection terminals that connect to ones of said plurality of conductors, and connect external circuits to said ones of said plurality of conductors; wherein: at least one of said plurality of connectors is a relay connector, and the relay connector is installed between two of the other ones of said plurality of connectors; said relay connector comprises a plurality of said connection terminals; a selected one of said ones of said plurality of conductors to which said connection terminals are connected is cut at a position between the connection terminals; and the connection terminals disposed at both sides of cut parts of said conductors form respectively different circuits; wherein said relay connector comprises: a connector housing; and a mold part that is formed at an end on one side of the connector housing and seals the proximal ends of said connecting terminals which are connected to the conductors of said cable in said connector housing; wherein said mold part extends along the cable at a greater distance than the connector housing in a direction of extension of the cable, and comprises grooves arranged orthogonally to the direction of extension of the cable; wherein said grooves allow the ends of the mold part to flex and prevent breakage of the mold part and the cable.
