A pressure-contact joint connector for electrically interconnecting a plurality of coated wires. The joint connector includes a connector body having a terminal provided with a plurality of pressure-contact blades electrically connected to each other for electrically interconnecting the wires; a cover for covering the connector body and retaining the electric wires in the terminal, the cover including first and second locking members each on opposite sides of the cover; and a hinge for interconnecting the cover and the connector body such that the cover can be pivoted to the closed position with respect to the connector body. The connector body includes first and second locks each on opposite sides of the connector body. The first locking member of the cover is engageable with the first lock of the connector body when the cover is partially engaged with the connector body and the second locking member of the cover is engageable with the second lock of the connector body when the cover is completely engaged with the connector body. The hinge includes a strap which bends inwardly toward the interior of the connector body and the cover when the cover is pivoted from the open position to the closed position.
