ABSTRACT:
A joint connector including a plurality of terminals received in a connector housing designed such that the length of the terminals, and hence the length of the connector housing, is minimized to provide a compact arrangement. The joint connector includes the connector housing accommodating a plurality of terminals including bus bar connecting portions, and a bus bar having terminal connecting portions arranged in correspondence with the terminals. Each of the bus bar connecting portions of the terminals has a planar piece, while each of the terminal connecting portions of the bus bar has a slit, or vice versa. The planar pieces are fixedly engaged in the slits so that the bus bar connecting portions of the terminals are electrically connected to the terminal connecting portions of the bus bar, respectively. According to one embodiment the bus bar connecting portions of the terminals is L-shaped. In another embodiment, the bus bar connecting portions includes a base plate from which a pair of planar pieces extend and are joined together to form a laminated bus bar connecting portion.
