Flat cable, substrate thereof, and method of manufacturing an electric assembly

An electric assembly comprising:

• at least two electric components;
• and
• at least one electric flat cable, which electrically connects the components to each other,
• the electric flat cable comprising, in a plane of extent of the flat cable:
• an inner limb, having a first and a second portion that are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal extent of the inner limb;
• at least one outer limb, having a first and a second portion that are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal extent of the outer limb;
• a connecting web, which extends so as to adjoin and connect the first portions of the inner and the at least one outer limb;
• at least one first electric terminal, which is disposed in the region of the second portion of the inner limb and which is connected to a first one of the at least two electric components;
• at least one second electric terminal, which is disposed in the region of the second portion of the outer limb and which is connected to a second one of the at least two electric components;
• and
• at least one electric core, which electrically connects the first and the second terminal to each other,
• the inner limb, starting from the connecting web and within the plane of extent of the flat cable, extending at least substantially parallel to the outer limb, in a first direction, and the second portion of the outer limb surrounding the second portion of the inner limb, at least partially, such that at least a part of the second portion of the outer limb is disposed in the first direction in respect of the second portion of the inner limb,
• wherein the electric flat cable has a relatively high rigidity in respect of a deformation within the plane of extent and a relatively low rigidity in respect of a relative alignment of the limbs in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the plane of extent of the flat cable, and at least one of the inner limb and the outer limb is elastically flexible in the second direction,
• wherein the electric components are movable relative to each other in the second direction between a first relative position and a second relative position, wherein, in the second relative position of the electric components, each of the at least one first electric terminal connected to the respective electric component is spaced apart further from each of the at least one second electric terminal connected to the respective electric component than in the first relative position,
• wherein, in the first relative position of the electric components, each of the at least one first electric terminal and each of the at least one second electric terminal substantially extend in the first direction, and
• wherein, in the second relative position of the electric components, the connecting web is substantially arranged, in the second direction, between the at least one first electric terminal and the at least one second electric terminal.
