However, in recent years, along with the miniaturization and thinning of personal computers and word processors, a pair of rigid printed circuit boards are soldered and connected to one flexible printed circuit board to be incorporated in a housing to form a three-dimensional structure. Is being done. However, in this case, when the rigid printed circuit board is heavy, the reinforcement of the double-sided adhesive tape or the thermocompression bonding sheet alone causes the rigid printed circuit board and the flexible printed circuit board to flex when the external force in the handling in the manufacturing process of the product, particularly the external force in the twisting direction acts. There is a possibility that peeling may occur at the connection with the substrate, and improvement in joint strength is desired.
