Abstract:
A flexible circuit board, an end of which is uniformly connected to the inside of a springy metal layer, which has been bent to a U shape, and the rest of which extends in a predetermined width away from the springy metal layer. The flexible circuit board is equipped with bump-shaped connecting terminals on the opposed bent sections, each connecting terminal having a first side connected to the ends of the circuit wiring pattern formed on the flexible circuit board and a second generally opposed side projecting outwardly from the flexible circuit board. The bump-shaped terminals are electrically connected to the terminal of the magnetic head suspension, which is made integral with circuit wiring, by the clamping force of the springy metal layer.
Abstract:
In summary, the present invention is a flexible printed circuit that eliminates the need for lead wire routing. The flexible printed circuit of the present invention comprises a plurality of electrical paths surrounded by a sheath of pliable MYLAR (polyester film) plastic. One side of the plastic is an adhesive that holds the circuit in place after it is wrapped around the shaft of the motor. On the other side, the mylar sheath opens to expose the ends of each electrical path. Small amounts of solder are pre-deposited at these exposed ends. A probe, suitably heated and applied to these ends, releases the solder to form a electrical and physical contact.

A flexible printed circuit board, which has a plurality of signal lines and allows end portions of the signal lines to be electrically connected to another member, is arranged such that an end portion of at least one signal line is made to detour around an end portion of another signal line so as to be introduced into a portion for electrical connection.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit having termination features incorporated as an integral part thereof and a method of making the same is presented. In accordance with the manufacturing process of the present invention, the end portion of a flexible circuit of standard construction (i.e., conductive traces sandwiched between a flexible base substrate and a flexible cover film) is folded back on itself, frequently with a spacer captured in the fold, and adhesively laminated together. This laminated assembly has a thickness equal to that required for formation of reliable connector pins. Next, a small section of this folded end portion has at least the outer non-conductive cover film removed, preferably by laser techniques, to expose a plurality of connector pins or fingers. The connector fingers will have the desired thickness, width and shape to allow for direct insertion into a mating component (i.e., through-holes on a rigid or flexible circuit board; or into a receptacle such as a female connector). The fingers are preferably solder coated to allow the flexible circuit of the present invention to be attached using common solder reflow techniques.
