Abstract

An electrical connection device includes a through-type connector, a first cable-end connector and a second cable-end connector. The through-type connector includes an outer shell and a plurality of pins, the outer shell is formed with a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity has a first independent insertion groove and a second independent insertion groove. The first cable-end connector is provided to be capable of independently inserting into the first independent insertion groove and includes a first insulative housing, a first terminal position assurance member, a plurality of first terminals and a plurality of first conductive wires. The second cable-end connector is provided to be capable of independently inserting into the second independent insertion groove and includes a second insulative housing, a second terminal position assurance member, a plurality of second terminals and a plurality of second conductive wires. Therefore, convenience of assembling or detaching of the first cable-end connector and the second cable-end connector can be promoted.
