A flexible concentrated wiring connector includes a flexible concentrated wiring member, a first member, a second member. The flexible concentrated wiring member is clamped between the second member and the first member. A second clearance is set to be greater than a first clearance. The first clearance is defined as a difference between an internal dimension and an external dimension in the width direction of the flexible concentrated wiring member in a state that a first positioning boss of the first member is inserted into the center of a first positioning hole of the flexible concentrated wiring member. The second clearance is defined as a difference between an internal dimension and an external dimension in the width direction in a state that a second positioning boss is inserted into the center of a second positioning hole.
