To provide a joint connector which eliminates the need for dedicated mounting space and enables the versatility of the joint connector to be increased, and an electric connection box.SOLUTION: The electric connection box comprises: an electric connection box body in which a plurality of cavities 13 for mounting electronic components therein are formed; a joint connector 1 which is inserted in and fixed to a vacant cavity 13 out of the plurality of cavities 13; and a plurality of electric wires 2, one-side ends thereof being connected to the joint connector 1 and another-side ends being connected to the electric connection box body. The joint connector 1 includes: a joint portion 4 which electrically interconnects the plurality of electric wires 2; and a plurality of leg portions 5 which extend straight from an insulating housing 6 constituting the joint portion 4. The plurality of leg portions 5 are formed as insertion portions and the fixation target portions with respect to the cavities 13.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】専用の取り付けスペースを不要にするとともに汎用性を高めることが可能なジョイントコネクタ及び電気接続箱を提供する。【解決手段】電気接続箱は、電子部品を装着するためのキャビティ１３が複数形成された電気接続箱本体と、複数のキャビティ１３のうち空きのキャビティ１３に挿入かつ固定されるジョイントコネクタ１と、このジョイントコネクタ１に一端が接続され且つ電気接続箱本体に他端が接続される複数本の電線２とを備えて構成される。ジョイントコネクタ１は、複数本の電線２同士を電気的に接続するジョイント部４と、このジョイント部４を構成する絶縁性のハウジング６から真っ直ぐのびる複数の脚部５とを有する。複数の脚部５は、キャビティ１３に対する挿入部分かつ被固定部分として形成される。【選択図】図１
