Abstract
A joint connector according to the present invention is provided with a circuit board, a male connector having male terminals provided on the circuit board at a predetermined interval and standing in one direction and a direction that crosses the one direction, the male terminals being selectively connected by a copper foil circuit, and a female connector in which female connector elements each having female terminals inserted and interlocked in female terminal holders are stacked, wherein the male connector and the female connector are fit to each other. This achieves cost reduction and improvement in work efficiency in electric wire connection by attaining easy electric wire connection and branching.
