Abstract
Abstract The branching connector fixing structure ( 20 ) has a pair of band-shaped frames ( 12 ) that are disposed apart in the direction of thickness, a plurality of flat circuit bodies ( 22 ) that are disposed respectively in layers between the band-shaped frames ( 12 ), and the branching connectors ( 24 ) that are respectively disposed on the flat circuit bodies ( 22 ), for the purpose of disposing of the branching connectors ( 24 ) along the same surfaces that are parallel to the respective band-shaped frames ( 12 ), wherein the branching connectors ( 24 ) is supported via a pair of fixing members ( 40 ), ( 50 ), bridging between the band-shaped frames ( 12 ) and fastenable in the predetermined position in the direction where each of the fixing members ( 40 ), ( 50 ) are disposed.
