Abstract
The present invention has an object of providing a connection structure capable of easily connecting an LED component to a flat cable. An LED unitincludes an upper casea pierce terminala lower caseand an intermediate terminalAn LED chipis pressed to the pierce terminalby a convexed springto electrically connect the LED chipto the flat cableConductorsincluded in the flat cableare formed of phosphor bronze formed of tin (Sn), phosphorus (P), copper (Cu) and unavoidable impurities and having a tensile strength of 480 to 550 MPa, whereas a pierce plateof the pierce terminalpiercing through the conductoris formed of a copper alloy, which is a high strength conductive member having a higher strength than that of the conductorand having conductivity.
