1. An end-processing structure of a flat cable, comprising: a flat cable, including: a plurality of sheathed conductors which are arranged in parallel, each conductor being covered with an insulative sheath; and a plurality of connecting portions, each interconnecting the plurality of sheathed conductors, wherein the flat cable has an interconnecting part in which the sheathed conductors are interconnected with the connecting portions, and a press-contacting part in which the sheathed conductors are separated from each other; a connector housing; a plurality of pressure terminal fittings, respectively having press-contacting blades, and mounted in the connector housing; and a cover, attached to the connector housing to cover the press-contacting part of the flat cable which is press contacted with the press-contacting blades, wherein a first interconnecting part extended from the press-contacting part and having end faces of a distal end portion of the flat cable is folded back from a first side of the cover along an outer face of the cover; wherein a second interconnecting part extended from the press-contacting part is folded back from a second side of the cover along the outer face of the cover; wherein the first interconnecting part of the flat cable is superposed on the second interconnecting part of the flat cable; and wherein a superposed portion of the first and second interconnecting parts are bound so as to surround the end faces of the distal end portion to insulate the end faces from an exterior by a binding member.
