Wiring material and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

The wiring material is manufactured in such a manner that a plurality of flat cables is superimposed on top of one another. In the end portions of the conductors of the respective flat cables, there are formed terminal fixing portions. The terminal fixing portions are formed by removing an insulating material disposed on one-side outer surfaces of the end portions of the flat cables, forming small-width portions smaller in the conductor width than the remaining portions of the flat cables in a part of the insulating material removed areas; and, folding back the flat cables in the small-widthportions and superimposing the conductors on top of one another. Due to proper superimposition of these flat cables, the respective terminal fixing portions can be arranged sequentially in the width direction of the flat cables at a prescribed pitch.
