Abstract
A joint connector for connection to first, second and third exterior electrical connectors, e.g. in a wire harness, has an insulation plate with parallel first bus bars on one face providing a set of first connection tabs and parallel second bus bars on a second face crossing the first bus bars. The second bus bars at opposite ends thereof constitute second and third sets of connection tabs. The first and second bus bars are electrically connected via through holes in the insulation plate to form a circuit in the joint connector. The insulation plate and bus bars are in a casing. In use the first connection tabs connect to a first exterior connector, while the sets of second and third tabs connect to respectively second and third exterior connectors. The interior circuit is such that the circuit connections from the first connection tabs to the second connector tabs and to the third connector tabs respectively are identical.
