ABSTRACT:
A method of protecting a conductive connecting part of a flat cable and a protecting structure of the cable are provided. The method includes a step of connecting conductors of the flat cable to conductors of relay wires at the conductive connecting part, a step of arranging a protective member at the exterior of an insulating cover part of the flat cable, a step of interposing the protective member between opposing molding dies and accommodating the conductive connecting part of the flat cable in a cavity defined by the molding dies in a leak-tight manner, and a step of supplying insulating material in the cavity for an insert molding. The protecting structure includes the conductive connecting part, the protective member and the insulating member for enclosing the conductive connecting part together with a leading end of the protective member. The insulating member is formed by insert molding. Since the cover part is not held by the mold directly, but is held through the intermediary of the protective member in forming the conductive connecting part, it is possible to moderate a force applied on the conductors by the aid of the protective member without increasing a thickness of the cover part of the flat cable, so that the breaking of the conductors can be prevented with certainty.
