Abstract
A press-connecting joint connector in which press-connecting blades, formed on a terminal, can be flexed in a generally equal amount, and the pitch of wires is reduced to thereby achieve a small-size design of the connector. A plurality of press-connecting blades (11) and (12), formed on a terminal (9) held by a connector body (2), are arranged in a staggered manner. Inner end portions (13) and (14) of the press-connecting blades (11) and (12) are disposed in a common plane, and the inner end portions (13) and (14) are held by intermediate walls (8) formed integrally on the connector body. A thickness of the intermediate wall is substantially equal to a width of the inner end portions (13) and (14). The distance between a side wall (7) of the connector body and the intermediate wall (8) is substantially equal to an outer diameter of the sheathed wire. Outer end portions of the press-connecting blades are embedded in the opposite side walls of the connector body, respectively. With this construction, the width of the connector body is reduced, thereby achieving a small-size design of the press-connecting joint connector.
