Flexible printed circuit board for electronic equipment
Provided is a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) including a circuit connector connected to a circuit board connector of a printed circuit board (PCB) for electronic equipment. A first compression part and a second compression part are included in the circuit connector, and a folding part is provided at a first plating interface between the first compression part and the second compression part such that a second plating interface, instead of a first plating interface of the first compression part and the second compression part, is folded by a force generated when the circuit connector is connected to the circuit board connector.
1. A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) having a circuit connector for connecting to a circuit board connector of a printed circuit board (PCB) for electronic equipment, the circuit connector comprising:
a first compression part disposed on the FPCB adjacent to a second compression part; and
a folding part of the FPCB provided at a first plating interface between the first compression part and the second compression part, and a second plating interface provided outside of the first compression part and the second compression part, and where instead of the first plating interface, the folding part is folded by a force generated when the circuit connector is connected to the circuit board connector, and where the first compression part has a protrusion at the first plating interface and the second compression part has a recess receiving the protrusion.
2. The FPCB of claim 1 , wherein the second compression part has a folding depression, and the shape of the folding depression is provided in the shape of a step.
3. The FPCB of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is positioned for bending about the folding part with respect to the folding depression.
4. The FPCB of claim 2 , wherein the folding part of the FPCB has a zigzag shape defined by the protrusion and the recess.
