BRANCHING CONNECTOR FOR OPENING OR CLOSING ONE-SIDE LINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To safely and quickly carry out branching work of a cable without requiring peeling process of coatings of the cable even during electric communication. SOLUTION: This connector comprises three contact 1... made of a conductive material and a main body 2 made of a synthetic resin and each contact 1 has cut parts in both end parts which cut the insulating outer coating 31 and the insulating inner coating 32 of a VVF cable to be brought into contact with a conductive wire and is coated with an insulating material 14 in the back side. The main body 2 comprises main body constituent bodies 2a, 2b with half-divided shapes mutually joined by a joining band 25 in a holding part and a cover body 26 connected with a main body constituent body 2a, by the joining band 25. The main body constituent body 2a has a groove 31 to insert a VVF cable 3, which is a main cable, into a groove 21' which houses an end part of a VVF cable 3' for branching loads and is terminated with a shielding wall in one end part, and a groove 21'' which houses an end part of a VVF cable 3'' for branching a switchgear and is terminated with a shielding wall in one end part and these grooves are formed in parallel. While bridging over electric conduct wires 33, an insertion hole is formed to bring a cut part into contact with a prescribed conductive electric wire by inserting a contact 1 into.
