A termination structure of a cryogenic cable has a cryogenic-cable end portion and a current-lead end portion that are coupled to each other with a flexible conductor. Accordingly, any displacement in three-dimensional directions of the end portions that could occur due to thermal expansion and thermal contraction of the cryogenic cable and the current lead can be absorbed, and a sufficient current capacity can be ensured.
