In a method for fabricating a wire harness with branch terminals, a flexible flat cable (FFC) (11) is first prepared by arranging multiple conductive strips (12) in parallel to each other at a predetermined interval, and by laminating a pair of base films (13) with the conductive strips between them. Then, a row of slots (14A) are formed between any two adjacent conductive strips at a predetermined distance from an end of the FFC, thereby defining a connection area (A) between the end of the FFC and the row of slots. Then, multiple connection terminals (16), each having a contact (17) and a plurality of projections (19), are fixed to the connection area of the FFC by causing the projections of each connection terminal to pierce through one of the conductive strips. Finally, slits (14B) are formed from the end of the FFC so that the slits extend between any two adjacent conductive strips and communicate with the associated slots.
