Abstract
A multiconnector includes a body composed of first, second and third blocks, the first and second blocks being joined at their ends with an insertion slot being defined therebetween for insertion therein or removal therefrom of a companion connector. The third block is fitted in the insertion slot on one side thereof and sandwiches the first and second blocks to keep them joined together. At least one of the first and second blocks support a plurality of contacts arrayed in the longitudinal direction thereof and disposed respectively in guide grooves in the insertion slot. The contacts have free end portions held in resilient engagement with the third block and hence preloaded for reliable and stable electric contact with contacts of the companion connector inserted in the insertion slot. After the contacts are retained on the block or blocks, the first, second and third blocks are combined and assembled together.
