Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the space and cost of connecting/part, by placing each printed circuit board at the specified distance and with the corresponding connecting part opposed, coupling said printed circuit boards with a coupler, and making said boards conductive through a conductive elastic connecting member. CONSTITUTION:Flexible printed circuit boards 1 and 2, comprising conductor circuits 12 and 22 formed on the surface of insulating base films 11 and 21, are placed opposingly at the specified distance. Connecting parts 13 and 23 are made of such material as copper leaf. A needle coupler 4 pierces the parts close to the connecting parts of the base films 11 and 21. A compressed conductive elastic material 3 is placed between the opposed connecting parts 13 and 23 to decrease the contact resistance. This enables steady connecting the printed circuit boards with each other to decrease the area of contacting part and lower the cost of connection.
