Abstract
A flat cable includes a plurality of conductors arranged in parallel, an insulating member covering the plurality of conductors, a first reinforcing member on a surface of an end portion of the insulating member, and a second reinforcing member on an opposite side of the first reinforcing member across the conductor and the insulating member. The first reinforcing member includes a reinforcing metal plate including an end portion bent toward the second reinforcing member, a covering member covering at least a portion of a periphery of the reinforcing metal plate, and an adhesive interposed between the reinforcing metal plate and the covering member and between the covering member and the insulating member to bond the reinforcing metal plate to the covering member and the covering member to the insulating member. The second reinforcing member has a rigidity greater than that of the covering member of the first reinforcing member.
