A method is provided for connecting a terminal fitting and a flat conductor to achieve a high contact pressure between the terminal fitting and a conductive path. A FFC (10) has an insulation sheet (12) adjacent the end stripped to expose a conductor (11). The FFC (10) is inserted between first and second squeezing plates (22, 23) of a terminal fitting (20). Complimentary recessed/projected portions (32, 33) are formed on the outer surfaces of a pair of upper and lower press dies (30, 31) for pressing the terminal fitting (20). The terminal fitting (20) is pressed by the press dies (30, 31). Thus, the FFC 10 and the terminal fitting (20) are pressed together into a single unit and the squeezing plates (22, 23) are formed into a zigzag configuration.
