Electrical connecting apparatus

摘要

Herein disclosed is an electrical connecting apparatus adapted for the interconnection of wiring harnesses such as the wiring harnesses in motor vehicles. The electrical connecting apparatus for wiring harnesses includes a socket block having a multiplicity of connecting chambers, a plurality of plug blocks having a multiplicity of connecting chambers, and terminal members in the connecting chambers of the socket block and the plug blocks respectively, the plug blocks being mated to the socket block in a predetermined relationship and the terminal members in the plug blocks being mated to the terminal members in the socket block. The terminal members in each plug block are connected to the wires belonging to a corresponding wiring harness. Connecting means, which electrically interconnects at least one of the terminal members accommodated in the socket block and mating with one of the terminal members accommodated in one of the plug blocks with at least one of the terminal members accommodated in the socket block and mating with one of the terminal members accommodated in another plug block, is attached to the socket block.
