Abstract
A flexible flat cable assembly includes a flexible flat cable and a shaping member. The flexible flat cable is composed of a plurality of wires arranged in parallel. The shaping member is disposed on one part of the flexible flat cable to shape the flexible flat cable to substantially form a first bending angle.
Claims10
A flexible flat cable assembly, comprising:
- a flexible flat cable having a plurality of wires arranged in parallel;
- and
- a shaping member, disposed on one part of the flexible flat cable, for shaping the flexible flat cable to substantially form a first bending angle and a second bending angle, wherein:
- the shaping member is closer to a first terminal of the flexible flat cable than to a second terminal of the flexible flat cable;
- the first terminal is located at a position higher than a position of the second terminal;
- and
- the first bending angle and the second bending angle range from 0 to 180 degrees when the first terminal is located on one side of the second terminal, and the first bending angle ranges from 0 to 180 degrees and the second bending angle ranges from 180 to 360 degrees when the first terminal is located on the other side of the second terminal.
