  • Patent number: 10297808
    Abstract: A battery wiring module includes bus bars and a flexible wiring board having wires connected to the respective bus bars. The flexible wiring board has a body portion and extensions extending from the body portion toward the respective bus bars. Each of the extensions supports one of the wires and has an end section where a pad is arranged, that is part of each of the wires. Each of the bus bars has at least one cutout portion, and the pad is arranged on each of the bus bars such that the pad overlaps at least part of at least one cutout portion. The pad and the at least part of the at least one cutout portion are connected to each other with solder.

  • Patent number: 10244626
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive composition for a printed wiring board, the adhesive composition having a good heat resistance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a coverlay for a printed wiring board, a copper-clad laminate, and a printed wiring board, all of which use the adhesive composition for a printed wiring board. The present invention provides an adhesive composition for a printed wiring board, the adhesive composition containing a siloxane-modified polyimide that includes structural units represented by formulae (1) and (2) below, an epoxy resin, and an inorganic filler. The siloxane-modified polyimide has a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 25,000 or more and 150,000 or less. A content of the inorganic filler is 10 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the siloxane-modified polyimide. In formulae (1) and (2), Ar represents a tetravalent aromatic tetracarboxylic acid residue, m is 0.35 or more and 0.

  • Publication number: 20190006141
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board according to an aspect of the present invention includes a base film having insulating properties and a conductive pattern laminated to one surface side of the base film. The conductive pattern forms part of a circuit and includes at least one fuse portion having a cross section smaller than the other part. The conductive pattern has a pair of measurement pad portions configured to enable measurement of a potential difference between two points in the vicinity of both ends of the fuse portion.

  • Publication number: 20180242450
    Abstract: A substrate for a printed circuit board according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base film and a metal layer disposed on at least one of surfaces of the base film. In the substrate for a printed circuit board, an amount of nitrogen present per unit area, the amount being determined on the basis of a peak area of a N1s spectrum in XPS analysis of a surface of the base film exposed after removal of the metal layer by etching with an acidic solution, is 1 atomic % or more and 10 atomic % or less.
