Abstract
The present invention provides a water-proofing joint connector capable of electrically interconnecting a plurality of terminals, with a simple structure, irrespective of the number of the terminals. The water-proofing joint connector includes a connection conductor, a housing and a cap member. The connecting conductor has a plurality of fitting portions to be fitted with respective terminals, preliminarily held within the housing. The housing includes a plurality of terminal insertion portions and a cap-member insertion portion which opens to an opposite side of the terminal insertion portions. The cap member has a cap portion to close the cap-member insertion portion and a fit detection portion to come into contact with the terminal locking portion elastically displaced by the terminals failing to be fully fitted, to thereby prevent the cap member from being attached to the cap-member insertion portion.
