FPC CABLE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USING FPC CABLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply incorporate an FPC cable into electronic equipment without causing patterns to be cut. SOLUTION: For an FPC cable 10, in work for rolling on assembly to the electronic equipment, a body-side cable 11 extending from a connector that is connected to a body substrate 31 to a first bending part 12 is inserted into a slit-like opening 13 and is pulled for locking. Also, a movable-unit-side cable 15 extending from a connector for connecting to a movable unit to a second bending part 16 is inserted into a slit-like opening 17 for locking, thus maintaining the roll shape of the FPC cable 10 (figure 1 (B)). Then, the rolled FPC cable is inserted onto the back surface of the body case of the electronic equipment for mounting. At this time, the tip of each of projection parts 14 and 18 is bent toward the inner-periphery side of a roll (figure 1 (C)), thus reducing friction with the inner wall of the case of the electronic equipment.
