Abstract
A single connector is respectively mounted at the tip ends of each of a plurality of branch wire groups to be branched and which are pulled out from optional positions of one wire harness. A connector receiver, composed of a lower case an upper case is mounted in a further wire harness composed of a flexible printed circuit with the branch circuit being secured at a necessary position. The lower case supports the wire harness and the further upper case is mounted detachably in the lower case and is provided with a connector inserting portion, with the single connector being detachably inserted therein. Accordingly, the wire harness can be made lighter in weight and can save space, and the circuit in the branch connector can be easily changed.
