Patent ID: 7232334

Claim:
An electrical connecting device that is connected to a to-be-connected housing element that supports a plurality of terminals and electrically connects a flat cable to the plurality of terminals, comprising: a flat cable having, at one end side, a connecting end provided with a conductor exposing part in which an insulating coating is removed so as to be brought into contact with and electrically connected to the plurality of terminals and a plurality of conductors are exposed; a cable holder having a cable winding part around which the conductor exposing part is wound so as to be turned back, and a provisional holding part which is rotatably supported in relation to the cable winding part, and presses and holds the connecting end; a fitting housing in which an insertion port, into which the cable holder is inserted with the connecting end held and the conductor exposing part wound, is formed, and which fits into the to-be-connected housing element with the cable holder inserted into the insertion port; and a clamping part which is formed in the fitting housing so as to be arranged in the insertion port, and which presses the provisional holding part to the cable winding part, and presses and clamps the connecting end turned back, to the cable winding part from both sides when the cable holder is inserted into the insertion port, wherein the connecting end of the flat cable comprises the conductor exposing part formed by pulling and peeling the insulating coating along an extending direction of the plurality of conductors, and an insulating coating part arranged so that a part of the pulled and deviated insulating coating is left in the connecting end.
