Patent ID: 7488223

Claim:
A cable connecting connector for collectively connecting conductors of a plurality of cables with different diameters by a heat unit of a heating apparatus for connection, the connector comprising: a horizontally elongated insulating housing; a plurality of contacts each having a base part to be secured to the insulating housing, and a connecting part having a same height in an up and down direction, and arranged in parallel to one another and perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the insulating housing; and thermoplastic holding base parts protruding from a flat surface of the insulating housing into spaces between the contacts and facing the connecting parts thereof, wherein the connecting part of each contact is moved laterally according to the diameter of the associated conductor when the associated conductor is inserted between the connecting part and the holding base part facing and apart from the connecting part from above, and the holding base part is melted by heat of the conductor heated to permit downward insertion thereof, thus ensuring collective connection of the plurality of conductors with different diameters.
