Abstract:
A junction connector comprising a shell which contains junction circuits and at least two connector-fitting portions oriented along different directions, said junction circuits comprising at least a first bus bar layer and a second bus bar layer, said first and second bus bar layers including first and second sets of bus bars, respectively, said first and second sets of bus bars having two respective end tabs and being aligned at a given interval from each other in the same direction, respectively, each of said connector-fitting portions projecting from said shell and being configured to receive said respective end tabs protruding therein and to electrically connect said respective end tabs and a connector fitted on said connector-fitting portion, said second bus bar layer being superposed on said first bus bar layer such that the direction of said second set of bus bars is skewed relative to that of said first set of bus bars, thereby forming cross points between said first set of bus bars and said second set of bus bars, said first and second sets of bus bars being joined at said cross points, thereby forming junction circuits.
