Abstract:
A ground connector by which a plurality of electric wires for a ground circuit are connected together to a ground at their ends;said ground connector comprising a conductive flat plate having a first side section, a second side section, a central foldable section between said first and second side sections, and a ground terminal, said first side section configured to serve as a base plate member, said second side section configured to serve as a cover plate member that presses the electric wires when said conductive flat plate is folded with respect to said central foldable section; said base plate member including a plurality of insulation displacement terminals formed unitarily and in one piece therewith, said cover plate member including a plurality of receiving apertures each corresponding to each of said insulation displacement terminals; wherein the electric wires are positionable on said insulation displacement terminals, said cover plate member is foldable over said base plate member with respect to said central foldable section so that said insulation displacement terminals can enter the respective receiving apertures, to thereby connect the electric wires to respective insulation displacement terminals.
