A ground connector is made of a conductive flat plate having a first side section, a second side section, a central foldable section between the first and second side sections, and a ground terminal. The first side section is configured to serve as a base plate member. The second side section is configured to serve as a cover plate member that presses the electric wires when the conductive flat plate is folded with respect to the central foldable section. The base plate member is provided unitarily and in one piece with a plurality of insulation displacement terminals. The cover plate member is provided with a plurality of receiving apertures each corresponding to each of the insulation displacement terminals. The electric wires are placed on the insulation displacement terminals. Then, the cover plate member is folded over the base plate member with respect to the central foldable section so that the insulation displacement terminals enter the respective receiving apertures, thereby connecting the electric wires to the respective insulation displacement terminals.
A ground connector by which a plurality of electric wires for a ground circuit are connected together to a ground at their ends;
