〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は、フレキシブルフラットケーブルを接続するた
めに、フラットケーブルの端末部に設けるフラットケー
ブルコネクタに関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a flat cable connector provided at a terminal portion of a flat cable for connecting a flexible flat cable.
［従来の技術］
従来、接続すべき相手側のコネクタハウジングに挿入さ
れるコネクタ部材を取り付けたフラットケーブルコネク
タとしては、フラットケーブルの端末部の絶縁被覆を剥
離して露出させた導体露出部をそのまま接続端子として
利用したものなどが知られている。[Prior Art] Conventionally, a flat cable connector with a connector member inserted into a mating connector housing to be connected has been manufactured by peeling off the insulation coating at the terminal end of a flat cable and leaving the exposed conductor part as it is. Those used as connection terminals are known.
しかし、上述した従来のフラットケーブルコネクタでは
、極めて薄く形成された導体自体が相手側コネクタの接
続端子と当接するようになっており、これは繰り返しの
挿脱に耐え切れずに摩耗したり変形を生じて接触状態が
不安定となり、接触部の電流許容量が確保できなくなる
という問題がある。However, in the conventional flat cable connector mentioned above, the extremely thin conductor itself comes into contact with the connecting terminal of the mating connector, and this cannot withstand repeated insertion and removal, causing wear and deformation. This causes a problem in that the contact state becomes unstable and the current capacity of the contact portion cannot be ensured.

の周辺をハウジングとなる絶縁部材５，６で挟み込む構
造が考えられる。As an example of solving this problem, as shown in Fig. 3, in a flat cable 3 in which a plurality of flat conductors 1 are surrounded by insulation coating 2, the insulation coating 2 at the terminal part is peeled off and the flat conductors are arranged in parallel. A conceivable structure is to connect a metal terminal 4 to each terminal, and sandwich the periphery of this connection between insulating members 5 and 6 that serve as a housing.

隔に絞り込んだ構造として、金属端子４を接続すること
が通常考えられる。Furthermore, in order to increase the versatility and production efficiency of such flat cable connectors, there is an increasing demand for establishing standards for specifications such as terminal spacing and terminal width. Flat cables have different current capacities for each conductor depending on their circuit configuration.
As shown in the figure, conductors 1a to 1e with different widths are often used.In this way, the width and spacing of each flat conductor 1a to 1e of the flat cable 3 are standardized. If the width W and the spacing d are larger than the width W and spacing d of .

Since the current capacity is limited by the constriction part and the adhesive part of the metal terminal 4, there are problems in that the desired current does not flow and the circuit does not operate, and heat is generated in the constriction part and the adhesive part. In addition, the narrowing part will be molded and provided when manufacturing the flat cable 3, but not only will the process be more complicated than when it is not provided, but it will also be standardized at the tip of the cable 3 cut to the desired length. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to install a connector that is
