Claim:
1. A method for producing a structure for an end of an MI cable in which one or a plurality of wires are held in a cylindrical metal sheath with a mineral insulating powder interposed therebetween, wherein the structure includes a connector attached to the end of the MI cable, the end being formed by cutting the MI cable substantially at a right angle with respect to an axial direction thereof, the connector has: the metal pins are arranged such that an axial direction of the front ends thereof substantially conforms to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion of the metal sleeve, the sharp-pointed front ends thereof are positioned on the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion of the metal sleeve, and an arrangement of the sharp-pointed front ends on that plane matches an arrangement of the wires on the cutting surface of the MI cable, the metal pins are fixed by the hermetic sealant in a state where the sharp-pointed front end of each of the metal pins is stuck substantially perpendicularly into the end face of each of the wires of the MI cable, and in a state where the metal pins are prevented from being brought into contact with each other and with the metal sleeve, and the cylindrical portion of the metal sleeve into which the end of the MI cable is inserted has a thickness smaller than that of the metal sheath, the method comprising:
