Abstract:
1. An electrical connecting apparatus comprising: a housing; a board side connecting portion separated from a terminal side connecting portion by a wall of said housing formed at a proximal end of said housing; at least one discrete connection terminal disposed in the housing and having a proximal end extending from said wall into the board side connecting portion and a distal end extending from said wall in an opposite direction into the terminal side connecting portion; a first discrete molded part for sealing said board side connecting portion and a second discrete molded part for sealing said terminal side connecting portion, said first and second discrete molded parts separated from each other by said housing; and a flat cable which extends on an outer surface of said housing in which said terminal side connecting portion is formed thereon, so as to extend along the outer surface of said housing; wherein the proximal end of said discrete connection terminal forms electrical connection to a circuit board which is provided on the board side connecting portion, and the distal end of said discrete connection terminal forms electrical connection to at least one conductor of the flat cable at the terminal side connecting portion; and said flat cable is extended substantially parallel and adjacent to at least a portion of the housing which is perpendicular to a surface of a receiving member in which said housing is mounted thereon, and the flat cable is bent so as to extend along the surface of the receiving member.
