GROUNDING JOINT-CONNECTOR AND WIRE HARNESS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is a joint connector (JC) that can connect a plurality of grounding wires, which are included in a wire harness for vehicles, to a prescribed grounding portion in a bundle while occupying little space. This joint connector (DC) is provided with: a plurality of wire terminals (20) mounted onto the terminals of each of the grounding wires; a grounding conductor (30); and a connector housing (40) for holding this grounding conductor. The grounding conductor (30) has: a plurality of wire-side terminal sections (32), wherein each of the wire terminals (20) are intermeshed in the terminal-intermeshing direction; and a ground-side terminal section (34) that is connected to the aforementioned grounding portion in a state fixed onto the wall face of the grounding portion. The wire-side terminal sections (32) are integrally connected with the ground-side terminal section (34) in a state intersecting approximately at right-angles with the intermeshing direction of the terminals and arranged in a direction approximately parallel to the wall face.
