A distributing connector includes a collective receptacle having a plurality of unit receptacle connectors, and plug connectors to be fitted in the unit receptacle connectors, respectively. The distributing connector includes a U-shaped plug connector receiving cover for receiving bases of the plug connectors, and a U-shaped back cover for receiving wires. The receiving cover has openings for receiving fitting portions of the plug connectors arranged correspondingly to the unit receptacle connectors of the collective receptacle and back cover mounting ribs along outer edges of an opening of the U-shaped cover. The back cover has grooves along outer edges of an opening of the U-shaped back cover for receiving said back cover mounting ribs of the plug connector receiving cover and plug connector retaining ribs along inner edges of said opening of the U-shaped back cover. When the plug connectors are fitted in the collective receptacle, the plug connectors are aligned and fixed by embracing by edges of the openings of the receiving cover and the plug connector retaining ribs.
