The first and second terminals 51 and 52 have slits 54 and 55 extending in the thickness direction Z from the distal end to the proximal end, respectively. The slits 54 and 55 have wide portions 54a and 55a that taperly extend from the distal end to the base end, and narrow portions 54b and 55b that extend from the wide portions 54a and 55a toward the base end. The first and second terminals 51, 52 have a plurality of fitting protrusions 51a, 52a located on both sides, and the fitting protrusions 51a, 52a are located inside the base 10 (not shown). The connection plate 50 is stably disposed in the interior by being engaged with the inner wall.

  Referring to FIG. 6B, the end of the first electric wire 30 that is located in the first cover 20 and exposed to the base 10 side is attached by pressing the first cover 20 against the front area 17 of the base 10. Sometimes, it enters the slit 54 from the tip of the first terminal 51, passes through the wide portion 54a, and moves to the narrow portion 54b. At this time, since the width dimension of the narrow portion 54b is smaller than the diameter of the first electric wire 30, it passes through a pair of bent portions 56 located at the boundary between the wide portion 54a and the narrow portion 54b and facing each other. Sometimes, the covering portion 32 of the first electric wire 30 is partially peeled to expose the core portion 31, and the exposed core portion 31 is brought into direct contact with the first terminal 51.

  Referring to FIG. 6 (c), the second electric wire 40 that runs through the rear section 18 of the base 10 is pressed against the second terminal 52 by the second cover 80 when the second cover 80 is closed, and the slit 55. From the front end of the sheet to the narrow portion 55b through the wide portion 55a. At this time, since the width dimension of the narrow portion 55b is smaller than the diameter of the second electric wire 40, the narrow portion 55b passes through a pair of bent portions 57 located at the boundary between the wide portion 55a and the narrow portion 54b. Sometimes, the covering portion 42 of the second electric wire 40 is partially peeled off to expose the core portion 41, and the exposed core portion 41 is brought into direct contact with the second terminal 52. Thus, by closing the 1st cover 20 and the 2nd cover 80, the coating | coated parts 32 and 42 of the 1st and 2nd electric wires 30 and 40 are partially peeled off, and the core parts 31 and 41 are made. Since the first and second terminals 51 and 52 are in direct contact with each other and are electrically connected to each other, there is no need to peel off the covering portions 32 and 42, and the connecting operation can be easily performed.

  Referring to FIG. 7A, when using the connector 1, first, the user inserts the plurality of first electric wires 30 from the front Y <b> 1 into the slots 21 a located at the front end portion 21 of the first cover 20. The first electric wire 30 is moved rearward until the edge of the first electric wire 30 comes into contact with the inner surface of the rear end portion 23 of the first cover 20, but the user hits the inner edge of the first electric wire 30 against the inner surface. In addition to being able to confirm the touch by hand, when the first cover 20 is made of a transparent material, the position of the edge can be seen through the upper surface of the first cover 20. it can. Further, by providing an opening on the rear end portion 23 side of the upper surface of the first cover 20, the position of the end edge may be directly visually recognized. In such a state, the first cover 20 is attached to the front area 17 of the base 10 while pressing the end of the first electric wire 30 with a finger, and the core 31 of the first electric wire 30 is directly connected to the first terminal 51 of the connection plate 50. Make contact.

  Next, the second electric wire 40 is inserted into the insertion portion 24 positioned below the pair of protruding pieces 23b of the rear end portion 23 of the first cover 20, and the surplus portion 40A of the second electric wire 40 is guided to the guide recess 22a on the upper surface 22. To guide. Finally, by closing the second cover 80, the second electric wire 40 is pressed toward the base 10, the core portion 41 is brought into contact with the second terminal 52, and the excess portion 40A cut by the cutting means 60 is removed. The engaging convex portion 81A that is left on the guide concave portion 22a and located on the side surface of the second cover 80 pushes down the second electric wire 40 and allows the protruding piece 13c to pass therethrough while being elastically deformed. To enter. Thus, while being pressed by the engagement convex portion 81A in the U-shaped groove 13b of the rear end portion 13 and the core portion 41 being pinched in the narrow portion 55b of the slit 55 of the second terminal 52, The second electric wire 40 is stably fixed to the base 10. Since the cut surplus portion 40A is left in the guide recess 22a when the second cover 80 is closed, the operator can hold it and discard it without losing it during operation. .

  By having such a configuration, the connector 1 does not require the trouble of peeling off the covering portions 32 and 42 of the first and second electric wires 30 and 40 when used, and an excessive portion of the second electric wire 40 is used. Since 40A can be easily cut and reliably discarded, the connecting operation can be performed quickly. In addition, in this type of electrical connector, when there are two or less new-side electric wires and two existing-side electric wires, the new-side electric wires and the existing-side electric wires are all arranged side by side in the lateral direction, for a total of four or less. However, when there are three or more electric wires, the horizontal dimension of the connector becomes large and a space is required to accommodate it. . In particular, when a plurality of connectors are arranged side by side, there is a possibility that the lateral dimension becomes large and cannot be accommodated in the accommodation box.

  According to the connector 1 according to the present embodiment, the first electric wire 30 on the new side and the second electric wire 40 on the existing side are opposed to each other in the front-rear directions Y1 and Y2, and the thickness direction Z Since the second electric wire 40 is positioned above the first electric wire 30, even if each of the first and second electric wires 30, 40 is composed of four electric wires, they are all The dimension of the connector 1 in the horizontal direction X can be reduced as compared with the case where the connectors are arranged side by side. Moreover, the 1st electric wire 30 and the 2nd electric wire 40 which are electrically connected oppose in the front-back direction Y1, Y2, and they are not separated in the horizontal direction X. Therefore, since the first electric wire 30 and the first electric wire 40 face each other in the front-rear direction Y1, Y2, and are separated in the thickness direction Z, the dimension in the lateral direction X of the connector 1 can be minimized. Excellent storage.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the connector 1 in an example of a modification. The connector 1 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) in the present modification includes a front connecting portion 2 that extends to the front Y1 at the center portion of the front end portion 12, and a rear portion that extends to the rear Y2 at the center portion of the rear end portion 13. And a connecting portion 3. The front-rear connecting portions 2 and 3 have leg portions 4 and 5 that extend downward and flange portions 4a and 5a that extend outward in the radial direction of the leg portions 4 and 5. 8 to 12, the first and second electric wires 30 and 40 are omitted for convenience of explanation.

  FIG. 9 is a plan view of the composite body 90 formed by connecting the connectors 1 according to this modification as viewed from the front, and FIG. 10 is a plan view of the composite body 90 as viewed from the back. The composite 90 includes a length direction Q, a width direction P, and a first connection member 91 and a second connection member 92 that extend in the length direction Q in parallel with each other. The first and second connecting members 91 and 92 are made of soft synthetic resin, and a plurality of guide groove holes 93a to 93e, 94a to 94a are spaced apart in the length direction Q between the both end edges 91a, 91b, 92a, and 92b. 94e. The separation dimension R in the width direction P between the first coupling member 91 and the second coupling member 92 is substantially the same as the dimension in the front-rear direction Y1, Y2 of the connector 1, and the plurality of connectors 1 are It arrange | positions so that the 2nd connection members 91 and 92 may be straddled, the leg part 4 of the front connection part 2 of the front-end part 12 is each penetrated by the guide groove holes 93a-93e of the 1st connection member 91, and the rear-end part 13 Leg portions 5 of the rear connecting portion 3 are respectively inserted into the guide groove holes 94 a to 94 e of the second connecting member 92. The width dimensions of the guide groove holes 93a to 93e and 94a to 94e are large enough to allow the leg portions 4 and 5 to be inserted, but are smaller than the outer diameter dimensions of the flange portions 4a and 5a. The legs 4 and 5 are prevented from coming off by 5a.

  The guide groove holes 94a to 94a of the second connection member 92 facing the guide groove holes 93a to 93e of the first connection member 91 in the width direction P have the same dimension in the length direction Q, and the first and first The length dimension of the two connecting members 91 and 92 increases from the central portion toward the outside. Specifically, the correlation of the length dimensions of the guide groove holes 93a to 93e of the first connecting member 91 is as follows: guide groove holes 93a, 93e> guide groove holes 93b, 93d> guide groove holes 93c, second connection member 92. The correlation of the length dimensions of the guide groove holes 94a to 94e is: guide groove holes 94a, 94e> guide groove holes 94b, 94d> guide groove holes 94c.

  Since each of the guide groove holes 93a to 93e and 94a to 94e of the first and second connecting members 91 and 92 has a width dimension larger than the diameter dimension of the leg portions 4 and 5, the connector 1 has a length direction. It can move at Q. However, the guide groove holes 93c and 94c located at the center of the first and second connecting members 91 and 92 have portions having the same width as the other guide groove holes, but are located on both sides of the center part. Since the width is narrower than the central portion, the connector 1 in which the leg portions 4 and 5 are inserted into the central portions of the guide groove holes 93a and 94a cannot move in the length direction Q.

  Referring to FIG. 11, the operator holds the second connecting member 92 with one hand, holds the first connecting member 91 with the other hand, and moves in the direction of arrow V (one of the length directions Q). When the first connecting member 91 and the second connecting member 92 approach each other, the plurality of connectors 1 are inclined with respect to the first and second connecting members 91, 92. R becomes smaller.

  Referring to FIG. 12, when the operator further slides the first connecting member 91 in the direction of the arrow V, the first connecting member 91 and the second connecting member 92 come closer to each other and come into contact with each other, and the separation dimension R Almost disappears. In this way, by sliding the first connecting member 91 / second connecting member 92, the dimension in the width direction P of the composite 90 can be reduced and accommodated more compactly. That is, for example, in order to collect the first and second electric wires 30 and 40 in a state where several hundred to several thousand wires are connected, the plurality of composites 90 are accommodated in the accommodation box so that the length direction Q is up and down. In this case, by sliding the first connecting member 91 or the second connecting member 92 to reduce the separation dimension R, the dimension in the width direction P can be reduced, and by arranging them side by side, The dimension in the vertical direction (dimension in the length direction Q) can be reduced, and can be accommodated in the accommodation box more compactly. Further, by moving the plurality of connectors 1 toward the center along the guide groove holes 93a to 93e (excluding 93c) and 94a to 94e (excluding 94c), the connector 1 can be easily held. In the composite 90 of the illustrated example, the five connectors 1 are connected by the first and second connecting members 91 and 92, but a smaller number or more may be connected. The first and second connecting members 91 and 92 are preferably made of a flexible material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin. In such a case, the composite 90 is bent or twisted. Or the like, it can be arranged in a relatively small space in the storage box, and the storage capacity can be further improved.

  In the present specification, various known materials that are usually used in this type of field can be used without limitation as the constituent materials constituting the connector 1 unless otherwise specified. In addition, terms such as “first” and “second” used in this specification are simply used to distinguish similar elements, positions, and the like.
