JOINT CONNECTOR AND MANUFACTURE OF CONNECTION TERMINAL METAL FITTING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joint connector facilitating its manufacture and management and allowing installation of various circuit components at a low cost. SOLUTION: A connection terminal metal fitting 110 mounted to a housing 120 is constructed of two series of connection terminal metal fitting bodies 110A, 110B overlapped and welded together. In a connection part 137 of one connection terminal metal fitting body 110A, a folded part 138 bent by a thickness of a carrier 140 in the other connection terminal metal fitting body 110B is formed, so that a terminal unit 130 in the connection terminal metal fitting 110 is aligned vertically and longitudinally. In this constitution, various circuit patterns can be formed only by preparing two kinds of members, that is, the connection terminal metal fitting 110 and the housing 120, and consequently a low-cost joint connector can be provided.
