Stacked connector and wire harness

A stacked connector formed by joining a plurality of split connectors to each other,

• wherein the split connectors each include:
• a split connector housing provided with a plurality of terminal receiving chambers;
• and
• a plurality of terminal-equipped electric wires that each include a terminal received in the terminal receiving chamber and an electric wire to which the terminal is connected,
• at least one of the split connector housings is provided with a locking portion having a protruding shape that protrudes outward to be capable of locking the terminal-equipped electric wire received in the split connector housing of a joining counterpart, and
• two of the split connector housings are capable of being joined to each other by, in a state in which a leading end side protrusion formed on one of the two split connector housings that are joined to each other is fitted to a leading end side groove formed in the other of the two split connector housings, pivoting relative to each other about a portion where the leading end side protrusion is fitted to the leading end side groove.

A wire harness comprising:

• a stacked connector formed by joining a plurality of split connectors to each other, in which the split connectors each include:
• a split connector housing provided with a plurality of terminal receiving chambers;
• and a plurality of terminal-equipped electric wires that each include a terminal received in the terminal receiving chamber and an electric wire to which the terminal is connected, and at least one of the split connector housings is provided with a locking portion having a protruding shape that protrudes outward to be capable of locking the terminal-equipped electric wire received in the split connector housing of a joining counterpart;
• and
• a joint connector that includes a joint terminal provided with a linking piece and a plurality of tab terminals protruding in parallel to each other from the linking piece, and a joint connector housing in which the joint terminal is housed and by which the joint terminal is supported, the joint connector being capable of being fitted to the stacked connector,
• wherein the split connector housing located in one surface layer of the stacked connector is provided with a locking protrusion, and
• the joint connector housing is provided with a locking receiving portion that is formed to deform elastically more easily than the locking protrusion, the locking protrusion being inserted into and locked to the locking receiving portion.
