ABSTRACT:
A branch-connection connector having a plug portion and a socket portion, which can be fitted into one another, are formed respectively at a front side and a rear side of a cover which forms an outer peripheral surface portion of the connector. A lock engagement piece is connected to the plug portion, and a lock release button is provided on a peripheral surface portion of the cover. The lock engagement piece is resiliently bendable, and has a proximal end connected to the cover, and a retaining projection, which can be fitted in an engagement recess formed in the socket portion of another said connector. The retaining projection is movable into and out of the plug portion and is formed on a free end of the lock engagement piece. A lock release button is fixedly secured at its proximal end to the cover. A free end of the lock release button can press down a portion of the lock engagement piece between the proximal end and free end of the lock engagement piece, thereby moving the retaining projection into the plug portion.
