An inter-connect circuit (ICC) device for a fuel delivery system of a vehicle is disposed between an engine control unit (ECU) and a fuel control device. The ECU transmits a drive pulse to the fuel control device by way of a drive pulse line passing through the ICC device. The ICC device includes a housing and a sense circuit. The housing has a first side that is connectable to the ECU and a second side different from the first side that is connectable to the fuel control device. The sense circuit is disposed within the housing. The sense circuit is electrically coupled to the drive pulse line by way of a sense circuit line and is communicably coupled to the ECU by way of a data communication line.

Airtightness of a connector molding is improved. There is provided a connector molding in which a conductor and a fixing member are integrally molded with a molded body including a connector portion. The conductor is fixed to the fixing member, and is integrally molded with the molded body in a state in which an external connection end portion protrudes into a space within the connector portion. A part of the fixing member is exposed to the space within the connector portion and the remaining portion is covered by the molded body, or the entire fixing member is covered by the molded body.
