PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joint connector capable of reliably confirming the fitted state of a male terminal and a female terminal during the manufacturing of a wiring harness, and to increase work efficiency for manufacturing the wiring harness, and a method of connecting terminals to each other using the joint connector. SOLUTION: The joint connector 1 includes: a first opening 9 into which a plurality of terminals are inserted; a housing 3 having a second opening 11 opened in a direction opposite to the first opening 9; a connecting conductor 5 fixed in the housing 3 and having a plurality of fitting portions 18 that can be fitted into the terminals 51 inserted from the first opening 9; and a plug member 7 constituted of a member different from the connecting conductor 5 and the housing 3 and shaped fittable into the housing 3 to close the second opening 11 after the terminals 51 are fitted over the fitting portions 18. The second opening 11 is shaped so that the fitted state of the terminals 51 and the fitting portions 18 can be viewed through the second opening 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
