Abstract
A protective structure for junctions consists of a terminal holder including a mount, a plurality of joint terminals arranged on the mount, and a hood which receives one end of the joint terminals; an auxiliary terminal holder including a fixing frame and a plurality of auxiliary terminals arranged on the fixing frame in compliance with the joint terminals; a flat cable held between the terminal holder and the auxiliary terminal holder such that its exposed conductors, the joint terminals and the auxiliary terminals are subjected to welding to provide a junction; a hold-down member fittable to the terminal holder transversely to the flat cable; and a protective cover fittable to the terminal holder to cover a part of the flat cable having been bent back around the hold-down member. Stresses are prevented from directly acting via the flat cable on the junction.
