Joint connector

A connector ( ) includes terminals ( ), and a connector housing ( ) having terminal receiving chambers ( ). The terminal ( ) has resilient curl portions ( ) of a generally mountain-like cross-sectional shape which are integrally formed respectively on opposite side edges of a base plate portion ( ). A lance ( ) is formed within the terminal receiving chamber ( ), and two projections ( ) are formed integrally on the lance ( ), and project in a direction of a width of the terminal receiving chamber ( ) which direction is perpendicular to a direction (see P, in FIG. ) of insertion of the terminal ( ), and the two projections can be brought into sliding contact with apexes ( ) of the resilient curl portions ( ), respectively.

A bus bar is constituted by integrally forming pairs of terminal contact pieces, each pair of which is in contact with an opposed terminal, a pair of connecting base portions, which integrally connect the base-side portions of the terminal contact pieces arranged on the same side thereof, and connecting pieces for connecting the pair of connecting base portions. This bus bar is integrally coupled to a bus bar fixing member constituted by an insulating member. An arbitrary circuit including so-called a skip connection can be constructed by suitably cutting the connecting base portions and the connecting piece. Thus, the entire circuit forming element is constituted as one component.
