PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bus bar connector capable of facilitating a connecting operation by applying contact pressure to bus bars in a superposed state.SOLUTION: A bus bar connector 20 for connecting superposed bus bars 15 configured so that a plurality of connecting bus bars 12 and 14A in one and the other apparatuses 11 and 13 respectively having the connecting bus bars 12 and 14A in a superposed state by sandwiching them between a pair of bending pieces 37 and 37 of an elastic member 36 housed in a housing 21 made of a synthetic resin comprises a bending pieces expanding means 41 rotatably movable to an expanding position where the pair of bending pieces 37 and 37 is elastically expanded and a non-expanding position where the pair of bending pieces 37 and 37 is not elastically expanded. When the bending pieces expanding means 41 is in the expanding position, the superposed bus bars 15 are inserted between the pair of bending pieces 37 and 37 and connected by being sandwiched between the pair of bending pieces 37 and 37 with rotatably moving the bending pieces expanding means 41 from the expanding position to the non-expanding position.
