Ribs are not required, the laminated connector housing is reduced in size, and each connector housing is positioned and easily fitted with the mating laminated connector housing, thereby freeing the flexible hinge from being easily broken and having low reliability. The laminated connector housing according to claim 1 or 2 is obtained. Since the guide portion is guided by the concave portion when the hinge portion is cut off, there is no possibility of damaging other portions, and the cut-off operation is facilitated, and the workability is improved.
