Abstract

A method for preventing broken circuits of an FPC is provided, which is to attach a film to a surface of the FPC so as to enhance the strength of the FPC.

Claims (9)

1. A test method for preventing broken circuits of a flexible printed circuit (FPC), comprising:

(1) attaching a film to a surface of the FPC, wherein a front end of the FPC has a connector;

(2) inserting the connector of the FPC in different sockets of other circuits in sequence for performing test operational procedures; and

(3) stripping the film from the FPC.

2. The test method of claim 1 , wherein the film attached to the surface of the FPC is close to the connector.

3. The test method of claim 1 , wherein the FPC has a thickness ranging from about 0.09 to about 0.12 mm.

4. The test method of claim 1 , wherein the film has a thickness less than 0.15 mm.

5. The test method of claim 1 , wherein the film is made of Polyethylene Terephthalate.

6. The test method of claim 1 , wherein the film is a low viscosity of film.
