ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a flat cable having a plurality of parallel-arranged flexible conductor wires and two pieces of insulating tape applied to the opposite center areas of the parallel arrangement of conductor wires leaving their opposite ends exposed, thereby permitting the exposed ends to be used as terminal contacts, each of said conductor wires having an intermediate length of reduced width for increasing the flexibility of the conductor wire. An elongated strip of electrically conductive, flexible metal foil is unrolled and fed to be punched to provide at one time, conductor wires of the same number and parallel arrangement as a flat cable to be made; two pieces of adhesive, insulating tape are applied to the center areas of the parallel conductor wire arrangement; and finally the opposite perforation edges are cut and removed.
