Abstract
An exemplary rigid printed circuit board (PCB) includes a main portion, a supporting portion and a connecting portion. The supporting portion is for supporting electrical elements. The connecting portion includes two end portions and a main body therebetween. The main body is spaced from the main portion and the supporting portion. The two end portions are respectively connected to the main portion and the supporting portion. A PCB assembly and a PCB module using the same are also provided.
Claims10
A rigid printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
- a main portion;
- a supporting portion for supporting electrical elements;
- a connecting portion with two end portions and a main body connected between the two end portions, the main body being located between the main portion and the supporting portion and spaced from the main portion and the supporting portion, the two end portions being respectively connected to the main portion and the supporting portion;
- wherein the rigid PCB is deformable between a first state in which the supporting portion, the main body, and the main portion are located in a common plane;
- and a second state in which an external force is applied to the supporting portion along a direction perpendicular to the plane, the main body is elastically stretched in a direction perpendicular to the plane, and the supporting portion and the main portion are located in different planes.
A PCB assembly comprising a rigid PCB and a receiving base:
- the rigid PCB comprising
- a main portion;
- a supporting portion for supporting electrical elements;
- a connecting portion with two end portions and a main body connected between the two end portions, the main body being spaced from the main portion and the supporting portion, the two end portions being respectively connected to the main portion and the supporting portion;
- the receiving base comprising a receiving space and a protrusion, the protrusion being at a bottom of the receiving space and having a cross section with a shape similar to the supporting portion;
- wherein
- the main portion is received in the receiving space and located at the bottom thereof, the supporting portion is propped up by the protrusion, and the connecting portion is elastically stretchable to a position where the connecting portion connects the supporting portion and the main portion.
