ABSTRACT:
To ensure a wire arrangement with an improved degree of freedom and in a compact manner. A terminal 10 is formed by bending the opposite ends of a strip 11 in the same direction by different lengths to form two blade portions 12a1, 12b1 of different heights such that slits formed in the blade portions 12a1, 12b1 are aligned with respect to the longitudinal direction of wires to be connected. In a lower casing accommodating the terminals 10, branch wires 50 are placed and retained on the lower blade portions 12b1. In an upper casing 40 for covering the lower casing 30, main wires 60 are so retained as to face the higher blade portions 12a1 when the upper casing 40 is fitted to cover the lower casing 30. When the upper casing 40 is fitted on the lower casing 30, the main wires 60 retained by the upper casing 40 are pressed into the slits of the blade portions 12a1 to be connected therewith, and press the branch wires 50 placed on the blade portions 12b1 in the lower casing 30 into the slits of the blade portions 12b1 so that the branch wires 50 are connected with the blade portions 12b1. Thus, the connected wires 50, 60 can be arranged one over the other in a compact manner.
