Abstract
A joint connector has wire holders (15a, 15b, 15c) that project in a wire draw-out direction from wire draw-out portions (14b) of housings (12a, 12b, 12c) where wires (W) connected with terminal fittings (20) are drawn out. The wires (W) are held tightly between the inner surfaces of the opposite wire holding portions (15a, 15b, 15c). Holding projections (16) project from the inner surfaces of the wire holding portions (15a, 15b, 15c) toward the opposite surfaces, so that the wires (W) can be so held as not to come out while being partly squeezed.
