ABSTRACT:
A connector housing includes a terminal accommodating chamber communicated through a cutout portion with a space or central chamber in which a joint terminal is accommodated. A terminal is provided with a tongue member resiliently contacting with a short circuit terminal through the cutout portion. When the terminal is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber, the tongue member contacts and electrically communicates with the short circuit terminal through the cutout portion. The lock piece for holding the terminal is provided on a peripheral wall of the terminal accommodating chamber 11 on a side opposite to the side on which the cutout portion is formed. Therefore, a gap is formed in the periphery of the lock piece. When a current of high intensity flows, the outside of the housing is covered with the cap so as to cover the gap, and the thickness is increased for enhancing the insulating property. If the competent insulating property can be provided only by the thickness of the connector housing, the cap may be removed. In this case, the dimensions of the joint connector can be further reduced.
