A bottom plate portion (3) of a flat cable terminal (1) is partially cut to form at least one spring piece portion (6). The at least one spring piece portion (6) is upwardly raised relative to the bottom plate portion (3). At least one barrel (4) pierces a base sheet (42) of a FPC (40) in a thickness direction thereof, and is so folded that a conductor (41) formed on the base sheet (42) of the FPC (40) is pressed and held between the at least one barrel (4) and the at least one spring piece portion (6). A fine projection (7) is formed on the spring piece portion (6) in order to firmly press against the conductor (41) of the FPC (40). A distal end of the barrel (4) is chamfered so as to facilitate penetration of the barrel (4) relative to the base sheet (42) of the FPC (40).
