Abstract
Bus bars are integrally fitted to a resin-made bus-bar holder by molding, conductor exposed sections of a flat cable and conductor exposed sections of wires are connected to these bus bars either by welding or by soldering, and the flat cable is inverted to the rear surface of the bus-bar holder and is sandwiched between the bus-bar holder and an under case. With this structure, a tensile force of the flat cable is not directly applied to the connection portion, and a connection structure of the flat cable with high reliability can be provided at low cost.
