For example, in the present embodiment, a block 1a for the feed wiring used when a plurality of power supply lines are branched, and a block 1b for a switch circuit used when the load 2 is turned on / off by a switching operation of one switch 6, And a block 1c for a three-way switch circuit which is used when the load 7 is turned on and off by switching operation of the two switches 6.

Each of the blocks 1a to 1c is provided with a main connecting portion 10a for connecting the power supply cable 5 at one end and a main connecting portion 10b for connecting a cable for feed wiring (not shown) at the other end. There is. Then, each block 1a-
From both side surfaces of 1c, a plurality of sub-connecting portions 10c are provided for connecting the harness plugs 8 attached to the branch cables 6 for connecting the load 2 and the wiring devices 3 and 4 in a connector manner.

Since the blocks 1a to 1c have substantially the same basic structure, the block 1 shown in FIGS.
A description will be given based on the structure of a. The housing 11 of the block 1a is a body 1 made of synthetic resin as shown in FIG.
It is composed of 1a and a cover 11b. The body 11a and the cover 11b are fixed to each other by fitting holes 24a, 2
Through the 4b, the stopper 92 is swaged to be combined together. The main connecting portion 10a formed at one end of the housing 11 has an insertion opening 1 through which the tip of the power cable 5 is inserted.
2 and a quick-connect terminal 100 arranged in the insertion port 12.

The main connecting portion 10b formed at the other end of the housing 11 has the same structure as the above-mentioned main connecting portion 10a, and the insertion port 12 for inserting the tip end portion of the cable for the feed wiring and this. Quick-connect terminal 1 arranged in the insertion port 12
00 and. Three sub-connecting portions 10c ₁ are projected from one side surface of the block 1a, and three sub-connecting portions 10c ₂ are projected from the other side surface, and the internal circuits are symmetrically arranged. Parts 10c ₁ and 10c ₂
It is configured to include three sets of switch circuits that connect the load 2 and the switch 3 connected to each other in series between the power supplies.
