Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a flexible printed circuit board, and more particularly to a flexible printed circuit board terminal structure which can be effectively prevented from being damaged by improper pulling action. [Prior Art] When a liquid crystal module is matched with a handheld electronic device such as a mobile phone, a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is often used as a path bridge, and the flexible printed circuit board is placed in a connector terminal. The side is usually composed of a zero output force slot (ZIF pin). Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the conventional ZIF interleaved pin 1〇2 routing. As shown in FIG. 1 , the current ZIF interlaced pin 102 has a sharp change in the dimension along the long axis of the pin to generate a plurality of turning points (for example, G point 'Η point, I point, j point in the figure). When the stitches are bent and stressed, these turning points are likely to cause stress concentration. Fig. 2 is a view showing the drawing operation of the flexible printed circuit board 100 with respect to a connector 1?4. As shown in FIG. 2, when the flexible printed circuit board 100 is placed in the chain, the elastic piece 106 of the connector 1〇4 is pressed against the ZIF staggered pin 1〇2 of the flexible printed circuit board 1 When the elastic piece 106 is not completely removed, the plucking action is performed or the plucking angle is not good, and the staggered stitch 1 〇 2 is broken at the region of the force-bearing needle when the bending is performed, and the stagnation is usually located in the above-mentioned stress-causing phenomenon. At the turning point (for example, along the A_A shown in Figure ,, the line breaks). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Life and reliability According to the design of the present invention, it is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a flexible printed circuit board terminal structure f to avoid the scanning of the Qiaozhou·Sina spray plate. The terminal structure contains the first pin 6 200849728 pin, and the first pin and the second pin have different shapes. Each needle: = direction Na parallel 'the first and second stitches are on the substantial side of the long axis direction and the ancient t is the upper parent's arrangement and extends along the long axis direction __ the first and the second needle chat side 1' There is roughly the same direction. Each of the pins has a step portion (steppGrtiGn) formed by a discontinuous change to the == portion of the profile on the side extending in the long axis direction, and at least - _ dirty at each end of the step. Furthermore, the projection length of the stepped portion of the side of the connector adjacent to the connector 7 in the long axis direction is preferably greater than 025 mm, and the radius of the rounded corner formed at both ends of the step portion is preferably greater than 018 mm. . According to the design of the present invention, when the stepped portion is designed at both ends of the step portion, the thickness variation of the stitch can be alleviated to the effect of the sliding dispersion stress, so that if an improper plucking action occurs, for example, the connected H shrapnel is not completely removed. That is, the plucking action or the plucking angle is not good, and the stitch with the arc leading angle can effectively disperse the stress, break at the contour change or cause other damage, and the present invention can optimize the area in the concentrated area by force. The step spacing and the slanting of the rounded corners simultaneously prevent the problem of the damage of the flexible printed circuit board terminal structure caused by the improper pulling action, and greatly improve the drawing life and reliability of the flexible printed circuit board. [Embodiment] FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of the soft printed circuit of the present invention, which is a sub-structure 12, FPC). The flexible printed circuit board can be driven by a tape type #t(tape carrier packaging; TCP)^;#^t aa^^t(chip on film; COF),|, and a terminal structure 12 is placed The connection position of the connector 1〇4 is as shown in Fig. 2 so that the flexible printed circuit board provides an electrical connection between other electronic components. As shown in FIG. 3, the flexible printed circuit board terminal structure 12 is composed of a plurality of first pins 12a and 12b having different shapes, and the long axis direction of each stitch (the direction is set to the χ direction) Parallel to each other, and the first stitch 12a and the second stitch 12b are alternately arranged in a direction (γ direction) perpendicular to the long axis direction, and further, the first stitch and the second stitch 12b extend in the long axis direction. Adjacent sides 14a and 14b have substantially the same course. According to the design of the embodiment, each of the stitches has a stepped portion (stepp〇rti〇n) s formed by the outer contour not being continuous and continuously changed in the (4) extending along the recording direction. For example, the first stitch 仏

The side has a concave angle P and a convex angle Q, so that the stitch portion between the concave corner p and the convex angle Q is also formed as a step portion s, and the first stitch 12a and the second stitch 12b have complementary shapes to each other. That is, the position at which the first stitch 12a forms the convex portion corresponds to the concave portion _ of the second stitch 12b, and the position at which the first stitch 12a forms the concave portion corresponds to the position of the convex portion of the second stitch 12b. According to the design of the embodiment, the first The corners of the step portion 8 of the stitch 12a and the second stitch (3) are designed as shown in Fig. 4, and the lobes or concave corners of the sides along the strip direction are formed as arc angles, as shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method of guiding the rounded corners can be formed by, for example, a circumferential outer cutting point of a radius & and an N point to form an arc angle. The size of the leading circle radius can be, for example, a step in the long axis direction of the stitch. Half of the length of the upper part, when the corners of both ends of the step s are designed with rounded corners, the original lobes and concave corners are For the arc angles μ, Ν, and then, the angle change of the contour of the stitch can be alleviated to achieve the effect of smooth and scattered stress; thus, if there is an improper pull-out action, for example, the connector shrapnel 1〇6 is not shown (as shown in FIG. 2). ) If the movement is completely removed, the extraction operation or the sweeping angle is not good. The circular arc guide angle can effectively disperse the stress to avoid breakage of the stitch at the contour change or cause other damage. ^ Of course, the size of the guide circle radius is not limited. It is only necessary to achieve the effect of smoothing the angle change to divide the % and the force. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 simultaneously, the design according to the present invention does not need to be guided at both ends of all the step S of the entire 20-foot. The rounded corner processing may also be used to round the corners of the step portion 8 in the force-concentrated region of the connector on the side of the pin when the pin is bent, for example, only for the side closer to the pin terminal. The step portion 8 performs the rounding treatment because the force set 200849728 is the most concentrated and most suitable for other damages. In addition, the present invention also performs stress. Optimization of the step s spacing in the concentrated area Here, the difference between the step portions S is the level of the step portion s in the long axis direction (x direction) = the horizontal distance of the first stitch 12a from the convex angle M to the concave angle N, or the second stitch 12b eight concave angle P and the horizontal distance of the lobes Q; as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, when the step s spacing is greater than 〇.25 mm, the plucking test is performed with the reflex angle of 3 〇 degrees until the *th = Cracks appear, and the effect of dispersing stress is more pronounced when the step S spacing is greater than 〇.3mm, and it will be mixed until 8 times or more. The size of the guiding path r can be separated by the step s spacing. Increase and increase A, so the result shows that when the step s spacing is greater than (4) ugly and the semicircle (4) is larger than the (four) surface, there is a better dispersion stress effect. Therefore, the present invention can be used most The design of the step S spacing and the rounded corners in the concentrated area of the force can further avoid the damage of the soft printed circuit board caused by the improper pulling action. The problem is to greatly improve the soft printed circuit board. Pull out life and reliability. Of course, according to the design of the present invention, the length of the first stitch 12a and the second stitch must be long, for example, the second stitch (3) and the first stitch can have substantially the same length, or The length of the second stitch 12b shown in Fig. 8 is smaller than that of the first stitch.
