Abstract

A joint connector includes a connecting unit provided with a bus bar on an insulating plate. The bus bar includes a joint area connecting plural pressure welding areas of the bus bar, to which wires may be pressure welded. The joint connector also includes a joint plate with plural pressure welding slots in which connecting units may be inserted to establish connection between the joint plate and joint areas of the connecting units. By stacking plural pressure-welded connecting units and pressure fitting their insulating plates into pressure welding slots of a joint plate, wires pressure-welded to upper and lower connecting units are connected together.
