ABSTRACT:
An electric wire branching connector device is used for forming branching circuits in a wire harness system. The device has an upper case and a lower case adapted to clamp therebetween a first group of electric wires extracted from the wire harness system and arranged in a side-by-side fashion. The device also has a plurality of terminal strips inserted into corresponding holes formed in the upper case. Each of the terminal strips is provided at its one end with at least one male terminal adapted to be received in a hole or holes and at its other end with a wire grip portion having a U-shaped slot. The male terminals of the terminal strips are projected through the holes above the upper surface of the upper case such as to form plug for receptacle connectors to which are connected electric wires 4B of a second group also extracted from the wire harness system. The wire grip portions are projected below the underside of the upper case such that the electric wires of the first group are forcibly received in the U-shaped slots. In consequence, the electric wires of the first group and the electric wires of the second group are electrically connected to each other through the terminal strips, thereby forming the desired branching circuits.
