Abstract
A holding device for a connector associated with an electrically controlled automotive mirror is provided such that the connector becomes fixed to a mirror unit by a cylindrical portion integrally formed in a bracket mounted to a side of a housing adapted for connection to an automotive vehicle body. Due to the provision of the cylindrical portion, the connector can be fixed to the mirror unit in a simple manner. With the connector being fixed to the mirror unit, connections between the connector and a mated connector provided in automotive vehicle body may be made in a much easier fashion.
