Abstract

A flexible printed circuit board includes an electrically conductive line, and a land connected to the electrically conductive line and to be connected to a terminal, the land including soldering portions that have metal surfaces and to which the terminal is to be soldered. The terminal includes an overlapping section that overlaps the flexible printed circuit board and a protruding section that protrudes outward from the flexible printed circuit board and is soldered to a connecting member that connects electrode portions of power storage elements.

Claims (18)

1 . A flexible printed circuit board comprising:

an electrically conductive line; and

a land connected to the electrically conductive line and to be connected to a terminal, the land including soldering portions that have metal surfaces and to which the terminal is to be soldered, wherein

the terminal includes an overlapping section that overlaps the flexible printed circuit board and a protruding section that protrudes outward from the flexible printed circuit board and is soldered to a connecting member that connects electrode portions of power storage elements.

2 . The flexible printed circuit board according to claim 1 , further comprising a dividing section that is between the soldering portions, the dividing section having a non-metal surface and defining each of the soldering portions that are adjacent to each other.

3 . The flexible printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible printed circuit board extends to have a belt shape, and

the soldering portions are arranged in an extending direction in which the flexible printed circuit board extends.

4 . The flexible printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible printed circuit board extends to have a belt shape, and

the soldering portions are arranged in a direction crossing an extending direction in which the flexible printed circuit board extends.

5 . A wiring module comprising:

a flexible printed circuit board including

an electrically conductive line, and

a land connected to the electrically conductive line and including soldering portions that have metal surfaces; and

a terminal including

an overlapping section that overlaps the flexible printed circuit board and is connected to the land, and

a protruding section that protrudes outward from the flexible printed circuit board and is connected to a connecting member that connects electrode portions of power storage elements.
