Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、多数本の並列された導体をその厚さ方向から絶縁体フィルムで挟み込んでラミネート一体化した構成のフラットケーブルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、フラットケーブルは、多数本;例えば3本の平板状の導体いわゆる平角導体を同一平面上に並列に配置し、導体の厚さ方向の両面から片面に接着剤層を施した絶縁体フィルムを接着剤層が内側にして挟み付け、この絶縁フィルムの外側から加熱ロールなどで加熱して接着剤層を融着させることにより、絶縁体フィルム間をラミネート一体化したものである。
【0003】
上記のうち、絶縁体フィルムには、ポリエステルフィルムやPETフィルムが用いられ、接着剤層には、ポリエチレンやポリエステルをベースポリマーとしたものが使用され、また、平角導体には、錫または半田メッキされたタフピッチ銅または無酸素銅の焼鈍材(引張り強さ200MPa 以上、伸び20%以上、導電率100%IACS)が適用されている。
【0004】
また、この種のフラットケーブルの導体として、Cu−Sn合金を適用していた例(実開昭63−61703号)、Cu−Ni−Si合金を適用した例(特開平11−111070号)がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
最近の電子機器の小型化に伴い、機器内配線としてのフラットケーブルにおいても、狭ピッチ化、高密度化、高耐屈曲性が要求されるようになってきたが、前述した従来技術によるフラットケーブルでは、前記のような狭ピッチ化、高密度化、高耐屈曲性の要求に十分に答え難い面があった。
【0006】
そこで本発明の目的は、耐屈曲性に優れ、且つ、高密度実装が可能な耐屈曲フラットケーブルを提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明により提供する手段は、無酸素銅(99.999wt%Cu)に0.3wt%以下のSnと0.3wt%以下のInまたはMgを添加した合金、あるいは無酸素銅(99.999wt%Cu)に10wt%以下のAgを添加した合金を母材とし、その表面にSnをめっきした平板状の導体に熱処理を行い、引張り強さ350MPa以上、伸び5%以上、導電率70%IACS以上とした平角導体をフラットケーブルに適用することを基本としたものである。この平角導体の物性及び特性の限定理由は次の通りである。即ち、金属材料の弾性領域での耐屈曲性は、引張り強さが大きいほど優れるが、フラットケーブルは、そのフラット構造の故に、折り曲げられて配線;設置されるケースが多く、引張り強さが大きくても伸びが2%以下の材料の場合、剛性が強く折り曲げが困難であるためと、折り曲げ時に導体を座屈させてしまう恐れがあるため、ある程度の伸びが必要となる。そのため、高強度、高導電性を有する銅合金について、熱処理を行い、引張り強さと伸びと導電率をバランス良く有する材料を母材として適用したものである。
【0008】
前記の、引張り強さ350MPa 以上、伸び5%以上、導電率70%IACS以上と限定した理由は、引張り強さ350MPa 未満では、従来の純銅と比較して屈曲特性の向上効果が十分に得られないためであり、伸びが5%未満では、折り曲げられると平角導体が座屈する恐れがあるためであり、導電率が70%未満では、導電材料として電気特性が不十分なためである。
【0009】
本発明は、前記の特性の平角導体を得るための条件として二つの手段を提供する。
第一の手段は、無酸素銅(99.999wt.%Cu)に0.3wt.%以下のSnと0.3wt.%以下のInまたはMgとを添加した材料を母材とし、その表面にSnメッキした平板状の導体を用いるものである。
【0010】
また、第二の手段は、無酸素銅(99.999wt.%Cu)に10wt.%以下のAgを添加した材料を母材とし、その表面に前記と同様のメッキを施した平板状の導体を用いるものである。
【0011】
これら、第一の手段と第二の手段により得られた平角導体は、多数本;三本以上を同一平面上に並列配置して、両面から絶縁体フィルムを挟み付けた、いわゆる一層構造のフラットケーブルとして提供する。
【0012】
第一の手段において、無酸素銅(99.999wt.%Cu)に0.3wt.%以下のSnと0.3wt.%以下のInまたはMgを添加した理由は、添加元素がSnのみの場合と比較して、導電率をあまり低下させずに引張り強さの大きい材料が得られるためである。Snの添加量を0.3wt.%以下に限定しているのは、0.3wt.%を超えると、In,Mgを添加した際に、70%IACSを確保するのが困難となるためである。In,Mgの添加量が0.3wt.%を超えると、導電率の低下を招き、70%IACSを確保するのが困難となるためである。
また、第二の手段において、無酸素銅(99.999wt.%Cu)に10wt.%以下のAgを添加した理由は、Agが10wt.%を超えると、材料コストが上がり、実用性に乏しいためである。
【0013】
第一の手段と第二の手段において、導体表面にSnメッキしているのは、導体の耐食性を確保するためと導体端末をコネクタの端子等と接続した後の接触抵抗の増加を抑えるためである。
【0014】
本発明は、第三の手段として、前記平角導体が絶縁体フィルムの両面に配され、それら平角導体の外側から絶縁体フィルムで挟み付けて前記平角導体を二層構造としたフラットケーブルを提供する。このように、二層構造とすることで、さらなる高密度実装が可能となる。さらに、前記の銅合金の平角導体を適用することで、屈曲特性は従来品と同等以上のものが得られる。
【0015】
これら第一の手段から第三の手段において、平角導体の材質以外、絶縁体フィルム、接着剤層は従来品と同じで良い。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は、本発明の第一、第二の手段により具現された耐屈曲フラットケーブルを横断面構造により示したものである。1は本発明により得られた平角導体にして、これの複数本;4本を同一平面上に並列に配置して、導体フラット面の両面から片面接着剤層付きの絶縁体フィルム3を接着剤層が内側となるように挟み付けて加熱により融着一体化したものである。2は融着により平角導体1の面及び平角導体1間及び平角導体1の両外側で一体化された接着剤層を示している。
【0017】
図2は、本発明の第三の手段により具現された耐屈曲フラットケーブルを横断面構造により示したものである。両面に接着剤層を施した絶縁体フィルム5の両面に、本発明により得られた平角導体6を複数本;4本ずつ並列に配置し、これら平角導体6の外側から片面接着剤層付きの絶縁体フィルム7を接着剤層が内側にして挟み込み、これらを全体を加熱ロール等で加熱して融着一体化したものである。4は融着により平角導体の面及び平角導体1間及び平角導体1の両外側で一体化された、絶縁体フィルム5の両面及び絶縁体フィルム7の片面に施した接着剤層を示す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flat cable having a configuration in which a large number of parallel conductors are sandwiched between insulating films from the thickness direction and laminated and integrated.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a flat cable has a large number of, for example, three flat conductors, so-called flat conductors, arranged in parallel on the same plane, and an insulator film having an adhesive layer applied from one side to the other in the thickness direction of the conductor. The adhesive film is sandwiched between the insulating films, and the insulating film is laminated and integrated by heating from the outside of the insulating film with a heating roll or the like to fuse the adhesive layer.
[0003]
Among the above, the insulator film is a polyester film or PET film, the adhesive layer is made of polyethylene or polyester as a base polymer, and the rectangular conductor is tin or solder plated. An annealed material of tough pitch copper or oxygen-free copper (tensile strength of 200 MPa or more, elongation of 20% or more, conductivity of 100% IACS) is applied.
[0004]
In addition, as a conductor of this type of flat cable, there are an example in which a Cu—Sn alloy is applied (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-61703) and an example in which a Cu—Ni—Si alloy is applied (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-1111070). is there.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
With the recent miniaturization of electronic equipment, flat cables as wiring in equipment are also required to have a narrow pitch, high density, and high bending resistance. However, it is difficult to sufficiently satisfy the demands for narrow pitch, high density, and high bending resistance as described above.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a bending-resistant flat cable that has excellent bending resistance and can be mounted at high density.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The means provided by the present invention is an alloy obtained by adding 0.3 wt% or less of Sn and 0.3 wt% or less of In or Mg to oxygen free copper (99.999 wt% Cu), or oxygen free copper (99.999 wt%). Cu) An alloy obtained by adding 10 wt% or less of Ag to a base material, heat treatment is performed on a flat conductor whose surface is plated with Sn, tensile strength is 350 MPa or more, elongation is 5% or more, and conductivity is 70% IACS or more. This is based on the application of the flat rectangular conductor to a flat cable. The reasons for limiting the physical properties and characteristics of this rectangular conductor are as follows. That is, the bending resistance in the elastic region of the metal material is better as the tensile strength is larger. However, flat cables are bent and wired because of their flat structure; there are many cases where they are installed, and the tensile strength is large. However, in the case of a material having an elongation of 2% or less, a certain degree of elongation is required because the rigidity is high and bending is difficult and the conductor may be buckled during bending. Therefore, a copper alloy having high strength and high conductivity is subjected to heat treatment, and a material having a good balance between tensile strength, elongation and conductivity is applied as a base material.
[0008]
The reason why the tensile strength is 350 MPa or more, the elongation is 5% or more, and the electrical conductivity is 70% IACS or more is that if the tensile strength is less than 350 MPa, the effect of improving the bending characteristics can be sufficiently obtained compared with the conventional pure copper. This is because if the elongation is less than 5%, the flat conductor may buckle when bent, and if the conductivity is less than 70%, the electrical characteristics are insufficient as a conductive material.
[0009]
The present invention provides two means as conditions for obtaining a rectangular conductor having the above characteristics.
The first means is oxygen-free copper (99.999 wt.% Cu) with 0.3 wt. % Sn and 0.3 wt. % The following In or materials added and Mg as a base material, is to use a S n main Tsu key tabular conductor on its surface.
[0010]
The second means is oxygen-free copper (99.999 wt.% Cu) with 10 wt. A flat conductor whose surface is plated in the same manner as described above is used as a base material made of a material to which no more than% Ag is added.
[0011]
These flat conductors obtained by the first means and the second means are so-called single-layer flats in which a large number of conductors; three or more are arranged in parallel on the same plane and an insulating film is sandwiched from both sides. Provide as cable.
[0012]
In the first means, oxygen-free copper (99.999 wt.% Cu) is added to 0.3 wt. % Sn and 0.3 wt. The reason why% or less of In or Mg is added is that a material having a high tensile strength can be obtained without significantly reducing the electrical conductivity as compared with the case where the additive element is only Sn. The amount of Sn added is 0.3 wt. % Is limited to 0.3 wt. This is because when it exceeds%, it is difficult to secure 70% IACS when In and Mg are added. The amount of In and Mg added is 0.3 wt. If it exceeds 50%, the conductivity will be lowered, and it will be difficult to secure 70% IACS.
In the second means, oxygen-free copper (99.999 wt.% Cu) is added to 10 wt. % Or less of Ag is added because Ag is 10 wt. If the content exceeds 50%, the material cost increases and the practicality is poor.
[0013]
In the first means and second means, it is you S n main Tsu key to the conductor surface, an increase in contact resistance after connecting with a conductor terminal connector terminals or the like and for ensuring the corrosion resistance of the conductor This is to suppress.
[0014]
The present invention provides, as a third means, a flat cable in which the flat conductors are arranged on both surfaces of an insulator film, and the flat conductors are sandwiched by insulator films from the outside of the flat conductors to form the flat conductors in a two-layer structure. . As described above, the two-layer structure enables further high-density mounting. Further, by applying the copper alloy flat rectangular conductor, a bending characteristic equal to or higher than that of the conventional product can be obtained.
[0015]
In these first to third means, the insulator film and the adhesive layer may be the same as those of the conventional product except for the material of the flat conductor.
[0016]
