A receptacle is a connector that is attached to a casing and allows electric wires within the casing to be attached to the connector and includes a receptacle shell. The receptacle shell includes a rectangular tubular portion projecting toward an inside of the casing and covering the electric wires within the casing. The rectangular tubular portion has four outer surfaces respectively provided with drain grooves that are made of metal formed by casting and are continuous with each other. A cross-section of each drain groove has an asymmetrical shape in which a deepest portion of each drain groove is farther from a tip of the rectangular tubular portion than a groove width center of each drain groove. The deepest portion is raised at a center of each drain groove in a longitudinal direction so that a water droplet within each drain groove moves toward ends of each drain groove in the longitudinal direction. |
