Abstract

A sensing apparatus, a piercing terminal, a stamping strip and a corresponding method are provided. Flat copper wires at tail ends of parallel wires of a FPC film are pierced, pressed tightly and fixed by first to fourth spikes on a metal strip. The first to fourth spikes are electrically connected to the flat copper wires at positions where the flat copper wires are pierced respectively, achieving an electrical connection between two piercing terminals and the two flat copper wires at the tail ends of the parallel wires of the FPC film, helping ensure the reliability of the electrical connection. Further, the piercing terminals are suitable for parallel wires of FPC films with different specifications.
