An object of the present invention is to provide an earth end attaching member 2 in a formed protector 10 for a wire harness, which improves a process for lapping up and securing earth terminals 3 of earth leads 7 thereto. Engaging plates 4 are vertically formed on the opposite sides of the member 2. Cantilever like elastic engaging parts 5A and 5B have a latch portion 12 provided on a free end 11 thereof and on the opposing walls of the plates 4 so that a base end 10 thereof is disposed at an upper position and the free end 11 is directed downwardly. The earth terminals 3 are pressed down from the base end 10 while elastically deflecting the engaging parts 5A and 5B. When the earth terminals 3 are placed on the member 2, the latch portions 12 of the engaging parts elastically engage with the sides of the earth terminals 3, thereby holding the position of the earth terminals lapped on the member 2.
