Flexible flat circuit
View Patent ↗A flexible flat circuit includes a pair of insulation sheets, and a plurality of conductors that are held between and covered with the pair of insulation sheets in a state that the plurality of conductors are separated to each other. Among from the plurality of conductors, at least conductors with different current capacities are different in thickness to each other.
1. A flexible flat circuit, comprising:
a pair of insulation sheets; and
a plurality of conductors comprising a first conductor and a second conductor disposed between and covered with the pair of insulation sheets such that the plurality of conductors do not contact each other, the first conductor has a greater width and thickness and current carrying capacity that the second conductor, and the top faces of the first and second conductors are flush with each other,
wherein the entirety of the first and second conductors are disposed between and covered with the pair of insulation sheets,
wherein the first conductor is embedded in one of the pair of insulation sheets and the second conductor is provided on a surface of the one of the pair of insulation sheets, and
wherein a fuse circuit is formed on the second conductor by stacking a metallic layer on an S-shaped section of the second conductor, the metallic layer having a melting point lower than a melting point of a material of the second conductor.
2. The flexible flat circuit according to claim 1 , wherein a stereoscopic shaping method is used to form the plurality of conductors.
3. The flexible flat circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse circuit is formed using a stereoscopic shaping method.
4. The flexible flat circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of insulation sheets are stacked in a stacking direction and the thickness is a distance measured in the stacking direction.
5. The flexible flat circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of insulation sheets are stacked in a stacking direction; and
wherein the plurality of conductors are not overlapped in the stacking direction.
6. The flexible flat circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of insulation sheets are stacked in a stacking direction; and
wherein the plurality of conductors are overlapped in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction.
