ABSTRACT:
A flat cable connection terminal giving stable connection terminal giving stable connection with a conductor (2) in a flat cable (1). The connection terminal (30) has a fork (31). The fork (31) has flat prongs (34) of a thickness equal to or somewhat smaller than the width of the conductor (2) and thick portions (32) projecting partially out from the flat prongs and of a thickness for fitting in the groove (14) of the terminal holder. The thick portions (32) are disposed to closely fit between partitions (12) to laterally stabilize the connections. The prongs (34) are formed thinner toward the frontmost ends. Further, the frontmost ends (33) of the prongs (34) facing each other across the (c) comprising the fork (31) have inclinations (33a) at the sides facing each other across the slot (c) so as to facilitate insertion over the bent back conductor (2). The front ends (33) of the prongs (34) facing each other across the slot (c) comprising the fork are formed in wedge shapes so as to partially press against the conductor.
