Abstract

Provided is a wiring unit including a flexible printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface, a connector, a holding member, and a cover, the flexible printed circuit board has wirings; the connector has a housing case and terminals, the connector is connected to the first surface at one end side in a longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board, the terminals are connected to the wirings on the other end side in the longitudinal direction from the housing case; the holding member is provided to hold the flexible printed circuit board on the second surface; the holding member has a recess on the other end side in the longitudinal direction from the terminals, and the cover has a pressing portion to press and make a part of the flexible printed circuit board enter the recess.

Claims (25)

1 . A wiring unit comprising:

a flexible printed circuit board;

a connector;

a holding member; and

a cover, wherein

the flexible printed circuit board has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and has a plurality of wirings,

the connector has a housing case and a plurality of terminals,

the connector is connected to the first surface of the flexible printed circuit board at one end side in a longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board,

the plurality of terminals are provided to protrude from an inside of the housing case to an outside and to be respectively connected to the plurality of wirings on the other end side in the longitudinal direction from the housing case,

the holding member is provided to hold the flexible printed circuit board on the second surface of the flexible printed circuit board,

the cover is provided to sandwich the connector between the cover and the holding member in a thickness direction of the flexible printed circuit board,

the holding member has a recess, and the recess is located on the other end side in the longitudinal direction from the plurality of terminals, and is provided to be recessed toward a side opposite to the connector in the thickness direction, and

the cover has a pressing portion, and the pressing portion is provided to press and make a part of the flexible printed circuit board enter the recess.

2 . The wiring unit according to claim 1 , wherein in a short direction of the flexible printed circuit board, a range where the recess and the pressing portion are provided is configured to include a range where the plurality of terminals are provided.

3 . The wiring unit according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing portion is configured to press the part of the flexible printed circuit board against a wall surface of the recess on the one end side in the longitudinal direction.

4 . The wiring unit according to claim 3 , wherein

the pressing portion has a protrusion, and

the protrusion is configured to press the part of the flexible printed circuit board against the wall surface of the recess on the one end side in the longitudinal direction.

5 . The wiring unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the cover has a pair of walls, and

the pair of walls are configured to cover both sides of portions protruding from the housing case in the plurality of terminals.

6 . The wiring unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a hinge, wherein

the holding member and the cover are integrated with each other via the hinge.

7 . The wiring unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit board cover, wherein

the flexible printed circuit board cover covers the flexible printed circuit board and is integrated with the cover.
