A cable connecting configuration electrically connects cables with a terminal attached to one end of each of the cables. The cable connecting configuration has a contact section having a contact surface parallel to a longitudinal direction of the cables. In a state that the cables are connected to each other, the contact section of each of the terminals is provided to face each other having an overlapping range in the longitudinal direction, with the facing direction being a direction perpendicular to the contact surface of the contact section. Between the contact surfaces, there is a metal elastic member, which can be elastically displaced in the facing direction within the overlapping range. The terminal is held by the housing such that the contact sections tightly press the elastic member in the facing direction, and thereby the terminals are electrically connected via the elastic member.
