  • Publication number: 20100294544
    Abstract: This invention provides a bending-type rigid printed wiring board that can easily realize mounting of electric components (can realize a plated circuit having high productivity and assembling properties), can realize space saving, and can realize easy production. The bending-type rigid printed wiring board comprises a hard cure material (1) with a space part (1A) inserted thereinto. A heat-resistant resin layer (31) is stacked on the surface of the hard core material (1) and, at the same time, on the upper surface of the space part (1A). A heat-resistant resin layer (32) is stacked on the backside of the core material (1) except for the space part (1A). Further, a conductor layer (4) is stacked and fixed through the heat-resistant resin layers (31, 32). The conductor layer (4) has been etched to form a circuit.

  • Patent number: 7001187
    Abstract: The junction box housing of a junction box is provided with a strip portion containing portion which contains a lateral edge of a strip portion where a terminal connecting portion of a flexible printed circuit is contained in the inside and a terminal containing hole arranged at the outside of the strip-shaped portion containing portion which contains a first connecting terminal. Thus, the first connecting terminal and the strip portion can be contained in the junction box housing with the terminal connecting portion bent to show an S-shaped profile so that the junction box main body can be made lightweight and low-profiled to realize downsizing.
