Abstract

A connector including a reception housing which has four sector-shaped compartments defined by four radial partitions, and four sector-shaped end terminals are inserted into the four sector-shaped compartments from mutually orthogonal directions which are perpendicular to a direction in which an insertion housing is inserted into the reception housing. A number of male terminals are provided on each of the four sector-shaped end terminals, and a number of conductors of a plurality of flat cables are connected to the male terminals. On the insertion housing, a number of female terminals are provided each being connected to respective one of a number of electric wires. The male and female terminals are simultaneously coupled with each other by inserting the insertion housing into the reception housing.
