Abstract
A crimp terminal-equipped flexible printed circuit board includes: a first flexible printed circuit board having a base film and a circuit provided on a surface of the base film and made of metal foil; multiple crimp terminals including crimp pieces crimped to penetrate the first flexible printed circuit board and bent to bite into part of the circuit; and an insulating reinforcing film partially integrally provided on an area of the base film where the multiple crimp pieces penetrate.
Claims5
A crimp terminal-equipped flexible printed circuit board comprising:
- a first flexible printed circuit board having a base film and a circuit provided on a surface of the base film and made of metal foil;
- crimp terminals including multiple crimp pieces crimped to penetrate the first flexible printed circuit board in a thickness direction of the first flexible printed circuit board and bent to bite into part of the circuit;
- and
- an insulating reinforcing film partially integrally provided on an area of the base film where the multiple crimp pieces penetrate, wherein
- the multiple crimp pieces penetrate the insulating reinforcing film in the thickness direction.
A method for manufacturing a crimp terminal-equipped flexible printed circuit board, comprising:
- bonding an insulating reinforcing film to a predetermined area of a base film included in a first flexible printed circuit board;
- and
- swaging multiple crimp pieces included in crimp terminals to an area where the insulating reinforcing film is provided, thereby attaching the crimp terminals to the first flexible printed circuit board, wherein
- the multiple crimp pieces penetrate the first flexible printed circuit board and the insulating reinforcing film in a thickness direction of the first flexible printed circuit board.
