Abstract
A terminal structure includes a portion of a flexible printed circuit board and a plurality of metal terminals each consisting of a slender, elongate metal plate. The circuit board has a plurality of electrically conductive patterns provided on a resin film, a prescribed portion of the board having a connector insertion portion of a width substantially the same as that of an insertion hole of a connector. The plurality of metal terminals are placed in parallel on the flexible printed circuit board in such a manner that distal ends thereof are situated adjacent a distal end of the connector insertion portion, and each metal terminal is fixedly bonded to a respective one of the electrically conductive patterns provided on the flexible printed circuit board. The width of the connector insertion portion of the flexible printed circuit board to which the metal terminals have been attached is such that the connector insertion portion will not extend beyond the outer sides of the two outermost metal terminals on the longitudinal side edges of the connector insertion portion.
