置が提案されている(特開平2-219413号公報)。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of forming a complicated electric connection pattern in a car interior wiring or the like, an electric connection box in which bus bars and insulating plates formed in a desired wiring pattern are alternately laminated is used. ing. However, this type of electrical junction box is difficult to miniaturize. Therefore, in order to reduce the size of the electrical junction box, by stacking multiple layers of a large number of electric wires arranged in a plane and connecting the electric wires three-dimensionally,

きないので、小型化に限界がある。However, in the conventionally proposed electric connecting device, the pressure contact terminals are attached to the electric wires arranged in a plane, and the short bar is drawn out from the pressure contact terminals to the side of the arranged electric wires. Since this short bar has a structure in which it is connected to the side of the laminated body by an interlayer connection unit (FIG. 1 of the same publication), it is structurally complicated and assembly is troublesome. There is also proposed a method in which pressure contact terminals are attached to electric wires arranged in a plane, and the pressure contact terminals are connected between the wires by a short bar (Figs. 6 and 7 of the same publication). There is a limit to miniaturization because the wire interval cannot be narrowed.
