Abstract
In a connection structure of a flat cable to terminals of the present invention, the conductors held by the back film of the flat cable are ultrasonic welded to the terminals of an external part. In this arrangement, even if the conductors are formed to a very thin thickness, since they are neither twisted nor separated from each other, solid-state welding can be made to target positions.
