Abstract
Connector terminals are provided to enable connection of electrical cables and connector terminals automatically to prevent the connector terminals from being inserted into sub-harnesses in later stages, and to make circuit modification easier. The connector terminals include respectively a male terminal portion at one end and a female terminal portion at the other end. The respective connector terminals further include a cable-fit portion. The connector terminals are contained in a junction case with top and bottom openings. Electrical cables are then wired in the junction case and fitted into the connector terminals. When several such junction cases are superposed, the male terminal portions fit into the female terminal portions through the openings, and the electrical cables separately wired in different junction cases are connected to one another.
