Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conductor foil with the in the preamble of claim 1 specified features.
  • Conductor foils made of an elastically deformable, non-conductive Carrier film tape with in the longitudinal direction of the carrier film tape running, externally insulated conductor tracks are, for example used in motor vehicles to various to connect electrical / electronic components.
  • the conductor foils consist of a carrier foil, for example Polyimide, on the thin copper conductor tracks are applied, which are covered with an insulating material, for example another insulating film or an insulating varnish.
  • Can at the ends of the ribbon-shaped conductor foil Contacting devices are arranged, which are often called Soldering pads are formed and with electrical pins or electronic assemblies are soldered.
  • Such Conductor foils are, for example, from DE 197 19 238 C1 known.
  • the conductor foils are elastically deformable and thus relatively insensitive to vibrations and shaking loads.
  • the conductor film advantageously has at least one permanently deformable shaping element which is applied to a carrier film strip of the conductor film and insulated from the conductor tracks and extends in the longitudinal direction of the carrier film strip.
  • the shaping element can be arranged on the carrier film in a simple and inexpensive manner and advantageously makes it possible to give the conductor film a permanent two- or three-dimensional shape. Under permanently “is to be understood here that the two- or three-dimensional shape of the conductor foil does not change by itself during transport or assembly, but can nevertheless be changed again by bending the shaping element again manually or mechanically.
  • the The bending stiffness of the conductor foil resulting from the shaping element greatly simplifies the manual and mechanical processing of the conductor foils.
  • the known manufacturing process of the conductor foils advantageously has to be changed only slightly. Since the shaping element runs in the longitudinal direction of the carrier foil strip in the same direction as the conductor tracks, the conductor foil can advantageously be in Depending on requirements, pieces of different lengths can then be cut from the roll and further processed. When rolling up or unrolling, a certain resistance has to be overcome, which results from the fact that the form Training element is curved or stretched, but this is quite acceptable in view of the advantages described above.
  • the at least one shaping element made of metal is particularly simple to use.
  • Shaping element a single in the longitudinal direction of the carrier film strip running metal wire, which as an insert introduced into the conductor foil or onto the carrier foil tape is glued on, thereby producing the conductor foil just a little more complex.
  • the metal wire can be made of very inexpensive material and increases the Manufacturing costs of the conductor film only marginally.
  • manual or mechanical bending of the in the conductor foil Arranged metal wire can make the conductor foil very simple Be brought into a permanent form and the Assembly of the conductor foil for example in the device housing electronic control unit can be greatly facilitated.
  • Two can advantageously be parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the carrier foil tape running metal wires on the conductor foil be arranged. This makes it particularly easy to give the conductor foil a three-dimensional shape.
  • the shaping element can also be placed on the carrier tape applied metal foil, the thickness of which is sufficient is large to ensure permanent deformability of the conductor foil to enable.
  • the conductor foil 1 comprises a carrier tape 2 made of an electrically insulating and elastically deformable material, such as Polyimide.
  • Conductor tracks 3 are produced on the carrier film strip 2, which are essentially parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 2 run.
  • the conductor tracks 3 are made of copper with a thickness of 40 ⁇ m, for example or less manufactured in a manner known per se.
  • copper is first structured in a photo process on the Carrier film tape deposited and then galvanically reinforced. The thinner the copper structures, the cheaper the conductor foil can be manufactured.
  • Fig. 1 the Represented conductor film according to the invention.
  • the conductor foil 1 comprises a carrier tape 2 made of an electrically insulating and elastically deformable material, such as Polyimide.
  • Conductor tracks 3 are produced on the carrier film strip 2, which are essentially parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 2 run.
  • the conductor tracks 3 are made of copper with a thickness of 40 ⁇ m, for example or less
  • the conductor tracks 3 by a applied to the carrier tape 2 protective coating or an insulation layer 5 insulated from the outside.
  • This can for example another insulating film, a more suitable one Top coat or an insulating spray.
  • 2 is one Top view of a section of the carrier tape 2 Fig. 1 shown.
  • the conductor tracks 3 is a parallel to the conductor tracks in the longitudinal direction of the carrier film strip extending shaping element 4 on the carrier film strip 2 applied, which in this embodiment as an in metal wire running in the middle of the conductor foil with circular Cross-section is designed.
  • the metal wire 4 is isolated from the conductor tracks 3 by the insulation layer 5 and can, for example, an inexpensive copper wire with a Diameter of one millimeter.
  • the diameter of the Metal wire should be at least large enough to be permanent Deformation of the conductor foil 1 by bending the wire can be realized. But also other materials and Embodiments of the shaping element 4 are conceivable. There the at least one shaping element 4 differently than the conductor tracks 3 need not be designed as an electrical conductor, it is also possible, for example, for the shaping element 4 to manufacture from a plastically deformable plastic.
  • Fig. 7 shows the conductor foil 1 from FIG. 1 after the conductor foil 1 has been bent into a desired two-dimensional shape. This shape can, for example, a certain housing contour be adapted to an electrical device.
  • the conductor foil 1 retains this shape permanently at, whereby the assembly of the conductor foil 1 in the electrical Device is made easier in hard-to-reach places.
  • the ends of the conductor foil 1 in Fig. 7 can be with eyes or other contacting means, not shown his.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the conductor foil 1 according to the invention.
  • the forming member is located on the the strip conductors 3 opposite side of the carrier foil strip 2 with here - an adhesive glued 8 to the carrier foil strip.
  • the shaping element 4 here has an approximately semicircular cross section.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the conductor tracks 3 on the top of the carrier tape 2 isolated from the outside by a further polyimide layer 6 are.
  • On the underside of the carrier tape 2 are in one Distance from each other two metal wires 4 over an elastic deformable further insulating layer 7 arranged can also be formed as a polyimide layer.
  • the two metal wires 4 will in particular be a three-dimensional one Shape of the conductor foil 1 facilitates, as in Fig. 8 is shown as an example.
  • Fig. 5 an embodiment is shown in which the Shaping element 4 by a on the underside of the carrier tape 2 metal layer applied over an adhesive layer 10 4 is formed with a thickness of 100 microns.
  • a plastic deformability becomes due to the metal layer 4 the conductor foil 2 by two mutually perpendicular in the plane the carrier film reaches 2 extending axes.
  • Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment in which the Shaping element 4 on the top of the carrier tape 2 is arranged next to the conductor tracks 3 and by an insulating Polyimide layer 6 is covered. That in Shaping element extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier film strip 2 4 has a trapezoidal shape in this embodiment Cross section on.
  • the shaping element as shown in Fig. 1, either completely embedded in insulating material or as in Fig. 5 not covered on one side with insulating material is.
