Abstract:
A connector includes: a housing with a fitting portion; a terminal accommodated in the housing, one end side of the terminal being arranged in the fitting portion; a flat cable drawn out of a drawing-out portion of the housing, provided with conductors connected to the other end of the terminal; and a holder integrally provided with the terminal on the other end side of the terminal, accommodated in the drawing-out portion, in which a connection portion of the terminal and the flat cable is arranged. The flat cable is draw out of the drawing-out portion in a direction orthogonal to a fitting direction of the housing. The terminal is placed across the conductors at the connection portion. The drawing-out portion is closed with a sealing material. The sealing material is integrally provided with an inner periphery of the drawing-out portion and an outer periphery of the flat cable.

Claim (Index 11):
A manufacturing method of a connector including: a housing including a fitting portion capable of being fitted with an opponent housing; at least one terminal accommodated in the housing, one end side of the at least one terminal being arranged in the fitting portion; a flat cable drawn out of a drawing-out portion of the housing, provided with conductors connected to the other end of the at least one terminal, the conductors being formed along a longitudinal direction of the flat cable and arranged in a width direction of the flat cable; and a holder integrally provided with the at least one terminal on the other end side of the at least one terminal, accommodated in the drawing-out portion, in which a connection portion of the at least one terminal and the flat cable is arranged; the method comprising:\n integrally forming the at least one terminal and the holder so that one end side of the at least one terminal is exposed to an outside of the housing and the other end side of the at least one terminal is located in an inside of the housing; arranging the flat cable into the holder so that the other end side of the at least one terminal is placed across the conductors; connecting a predetermined terminal of the at least one terminal and a predetermined conductor of the conductors of the flat cable to form the connection portion; integrally forming a first sealing material with the holder around the connection portion in the holder, the first sealing material covering the connection portion and being capable of closing the drawing-out portion and being welded to an inner periphery of the drawing-out portion; accommodating the holder into the drawing-out portion of the housing; drawing the flat cable out of the drawing-out portion toward the outside of the housing in a direction orthogonal to a fitting direction in which the housing and the opponent housing are fitted with each other; and welding the first sealing material and the inner periphery of the drawing-out portion.
