Claim 9:
10. A method for manufacturing a joined conductor in which a plurality of conductors arranged along a longitudinal direction are fused and joined, the method comprising the steps of:
when a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is referred to as a first direction, and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and the first direction is referred to as a second direction,
compressing the conductors along the first direction and regulating movement of the conductors in the second direction; and
welding that performs ultrasonic welding of the conductors compressed in the first direction by ultrasonic oscillation, wherein
the compressing comprises the step of:
regulating movement of the conductors in the second direction such that a corrugated portion is formed along the longitudinal direction on a first surface provided on a conductor bundle configured of the plurality of conductors that are arranged, and
the corrugated portion is continuously provided with a convex line portion protruding outward in the second direction, and a concave line portion recessed inward in the second direction.
