<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flat cable with high reliability in which the conductor portion of the cable has flexibility and is prevented from the occurrence of migration and the conductor portion of a connecting terminal is applied with gold plating effectively, and its manufacturing method. <P>SOLUTION: This flat cable has plurality of flat copper conductors 7 applied with tin plating 7b arranged in parallel and covered with an insulating film 8, and a connecting terminal 3 for being connected to an electric connector 6 formed at least at one end. The flat copper conductor 7 of the connecting terminal 3 to become a contact conductor 4 is removed in tin plating 7b and gold plating is applied to the portion removed of tin plating by nickel plating. Furthermore, the connecting terminal 3 is exposed from the insulating film 8 on both sides of the flat copper conductor 7 and reinforced by jointing a reinforcement plate 5 on one side, or exposed from the insulating film 8 on one side of the flat copper conductor 7 and reinforced by jointing the reinforcement plate 5 on the insulating film face on the side not exposed in the flat copper conductor 7. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
