[0020]

According to the present invention, when flattened before being bent in a zigzag manner, any circuit can be replaced with a single-layer circuit having parallel straight lines of various cross sections. Therefore, the conductor and the insulating material are machined (cutting, cutting, It is possible to use physical processing such as roll shearing, etc. to handle current capacity and dielectric strength, and to select the thickness and width arbitrarily for efficient processing, high productivity and cost performance.
A complicated circuit such as a tree-shaped circuit like the printed circuit method can be made by multilayer printing, but there is a risk of pollution if the waste liquid treatment in the chemical etching process or plating process is neglected. Since the etching processing speed is not as fast as mechanical processing, it is difficult to adopt it in a power circuit that requires a large cross section with a large current capacity, and it is difficult to bend so as to narrow the width as in the present invention. Also, it does not cause problems such as covering other parts or the possibility of interference. Further, in the present invention, inorganic glass fiber paper and ceramic fiber paper, which are non-combustible, heat resistant, and have insulation and flexibility, have been commercialized, and conductors are laid out on this insulating material to ensure safety against fire and high heat. There is an effect that a manufacturing method capable of producing a high product can be adopted.
In order to clarify the effect of the circuit and layout in the example,
For example, comparing the circuit of FIG. 31, the conventional flexible printed circuit can be represented by one layer shown by a solid line, two layers shown by a dotted line, and three layers shown by a chain line as shown in a plan view above FIG. . If the cross section XX is shown below, the width is B1 and the number of layers is three. However, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, in the state of being developed in a plane, the conductors are shown by parallel straight lines as shown in the plan view in the upper part of FIG. 33, and the width is B1 as shown in the front view and the width of the printed circuit is Is equivalent to
The number of layers may be one without branching in the conductor. Next, FIG.
When the bending pattern of 8-2 is adopted and folded, the conductor terminals 1, 2 and 7 are terminals T1, the conductor terminals 3 and 6 are terminals T2, and the terminal 4 is terminal T3, terminal 5, as shown in the lower part of the figure. 1
The circuit of FIG. 31 can be formed by connecting 0 like terminal T4 and terminals 8 and 9 like terminal T5. Not only a tree circuit like the circuit of FIG. 31 but also various circuits can be formed by connecting the other end with a loop circuit or the like, and various circuits can be manufactured by synthesizing a basic bending pattern. Even with such a complicated circuit, there is an effect that the technology that facilitates mechanization can increase the manufacturing efficiency and form a highly functional circuit at a low cost.
