Abstract A connection tab (2, 2′) for making contact with an electric wire (3) at a wire contact, having a connecting end remote therefrom, and being offset from the wire contact in a direction longitudinal of and/or perpendicular to the electric wire (3). A junction device including a wiring board (1) having a connection area (7) and one or more electric wires (3) to be connected. The wires (3) are located beneath the wiring board (1) and there is also provided one or more of the connection tabs (2, 2′). The junction device may have a plurality of wiring boards (1) and the invention provides a very compact means for making a plurality of complex connections.
A multiple junction device for making an electrical contact having a plurality of wired electrical circuit board and connection tabs with a connecting end portion for making a mating engagement with another electrical connection means and a wire contact end portion where a throat is provided for making direct contact with wire conductor through insulation of the wire, characterized in: that the wire contact end portion 2b of the connection tab 2 in an upper wiring board 1 is shifted either in a wire path direction X or the direction Y which is perpendicular to X in a way that the connecting end portion 2a of the connection tab 2 in an adjacent lower wiring board 6 is free from locational interaction of said wire contact end portion 2b.
