Abstract
An housing of an electrical connector has at least one accommodation passage passing therethrough. At least one wire is inserted into at least one connection terminal accommodated within the accommodation passage in an insertion direction. The housing has a first surface with a first engagement portion and a second surface, opposite to the first surface, with a second engagement portion matched with the first engagement portion. The first engagement portion or the second engagement portion of the housing is configured to be detachably engaged with a second engagement portion or a first engagement portion of another housing, so as to stack the housing and the another housing together. Thus, it is possible to reduce the space occupied by a plurality of electrical connectors, thereby facilitating management of the wires and the electrical connectors.
