The joint connector comprises a housing,for accommodating a plurality of connecting terminals,in a rear-side portion thereof, a bus bar,formed out of an electrically conductive metal plate and accommodated in the housing,for jointing any individual ones of the connecting terminals,, a bus bar holder,for holding the bus bar,, and a front cover,mounted to the housing,in such a way as to cover the bus bar holder,. The bus bar holder,has a plurality of holes to be used for cutting the bus bar,to form an arbitrary circuit. The bus bar holder,and the bus bar,is mounted in the housing,so as to be movable in relation to the housing,in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the connecting terminals,being housed. When the front cover,is set in the housing,, it causes the bus bar holder,to be moved and the bus bar,to be jointed with connecting terminals
