Claim 4:
5. A braided part connection structure comprising:
a conductive braid; and
a conductive member electrically connected and fixed to the braid and made of a conductive plate material,
wherein the conductive member includes a braid joining portion,
wherein the braid joining portion includes, at a part of the conductive member in a longitudinal direction of the conductive member, a plurality of openings formed at intervals with each other along a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction and a welded portion defined by two adjacent openings of the plurality of openings,
wherein the braid joining portion is provided on the braid in an overlapping manner and a laser weld connects the welded portion onto the braid,
wherein the conductive member includes a connection terminal configured to be fitted and electrically connected to a counterpart terminal, the connection terminal is a hollow cylinder,
wherein the braid is a flexible conductor to which the braid joining portion of the conductive member is connected and includes a flat end,
wherein the braid joining portion is a flat plate and extends from the connection terminal at a right angle,
wherein the braid joining portion is provided on the flat end of the flexible conductor in an overlapping manner and the laser weld connects the welded portion onto the flat end of the flexible conductor, and
wherein the hollow cylinder includes an opened end, the conductive member includes an intermediate plate that extends from and is connected to the opened end, and the braid joining portion is connected to the intermediate plate and extends from the intermediate plate at the right angle.
