Abstract

The flat electric cable (1) has at least one flat electrical conducting strip (3) mounted on a bearer (2), especially a bearer foil. The conducting track is at least partly electrically exposed at one end and is folded at least once, whereby the exposed and folded end is connected to a plug connector (5), especially to a plug or socket.
