Abstract:
1. A flexible cable connecting structure, comprising: a terminal part formed at an end part of a flexible cable, in which conductive patterns of the flexible cable are exposed; a plurality of connector pins that are provided side by side inside a connector, each of the connector pins being configured to be connected to one of the exposed conductive patterns; a cable side guide part fixed at a surface of the terminal part so as to expose the conductive patterns; and a connector side guide part provided at a cable inserting opening of the connector, the connector side guide part being configured to guide inserting and detaching of the cable side guide part, wherein the cable side guide part slides on the connector side guide part when the cable side guide part is being inserted into the cable inserting opening of the connector, so that the inserting and detaching of the cable side guide part is guided, and wherein an end part of the connector side guide part extending in a direction perpendicular to an inserting direction of the flexible cable and provided at an entrance of the cable inserting opening is set back toward the inserting direction of the flexible cable relative to a portion of the cable inserting opening located at an opposite side from the connector side guide part, the cable side guide part includes a restricted part formed at a surface of the cable side guide opposite to the surface facing the flexible cable, the restricted part being formed as a projecting part or a groove extending in inserting and detaching directions of the cable side guide; and the connector side guide part includes a restricting part provided only at a portion of the connector side guide part set back toward the inserting direction of the flexible cable and configured to engage with the restricted part of the cable side guide part.
