Point, re-displayed from 1 to 42, in order to facilitate the subsequent addition of the serial number in the middle, especially in the middle of the 29th and 30th, not marked in the third figure. These electrical contacts are all marked with a square graphic of the chamfer.
本圖所有之40個電氣接觸點均與前述第2圖之實施例的電氣接觸 點排列位置均完全相同,其中包括第一群組A中具有3排縱列A1、A2、A3,詳細編號為A11(標號2)、A12(標號6)、A13(標號10)、A14(標號14)、A15(標號18)、A16(標號24)、A21(標號4)、A22(標號8)、A23(標號12)、A24(標號16)、A25(標號20)、A26(標號26)、A31(標號22)及A32(標號28)等14個電氣接觸點。其餘第二至第四群組均相同,故不再贅述之。 All 40 electrical contact points in this figure are in electrical contact with the embodiment of Figure 2 above. The dot arrangement positions are all identical, including the first group A having three rows of columns A1, A2, and A3, and the detailed numbers are A11 (label 2), A12 (label 6), A13 (label 10), and A14 (label) 14), A15 (reference numeral 18), A16 (number 24), A21 (number 4), A22 (number 8), A23 (number 12), A24 (number 16), A25 (number 20), A26 (number 26) 14, electrical contact points such as A31 (key 22) and A32 (key 28). The remaining second to fourth groups are the same, so they will not be described again.
請再參閱第4圖,該圖為一座標表列,為第3圖所示之各電氣接觸點幾何中心,在以該撓性電路板原點孔之圓心為基準點之下,以兩者之距離,標示出所有電氣接觸點幾何中心的座標分佈圖;該坐標之橫列方向為X軸,以該原點孔之圓心向右延伸為正值,反之向左延伸為負值;而該坐標於縱列方向為Y軸,以原點向上延伸為正值,以原點向下延伸為負值。 Please refer to FIG. 4 again, which is a table column, which is the geometric center of each electrical contact point shown in FIG. 3, under the reference point of the center of the origin hole of the flexible circuit board, The distance, indicating the coordinate distribution of the geometric center of all electrical contact points; the direction of the coordinate is the X axis, and the center of the origin hole extends to the right to a positive value, and vice versa to a left value; The coordinates are in the Y-axis direction, extending from the origin to a positive value, and extending downward from the origin to a negative value.
是以,例如標號1之座標為(7.715,10.045),而標號2座標為(-7.715,10.045),故兩者距離為沿橫列方向距離共為15.43公厘(mm)。再舉一例,例如標號37之座標為(0.88,2.045),所以距離原點孔之圓心(0,0),故兩者距離為沿橫列方向距離為0.88公厘(mm),沿縱列方向距離為2.045公厘(mm)。其餘均以此類推。 Therefore, for example, the coordinates of the numeral 1 are (7.715, 10.045), and the coordinates of the numeral 2 are (-7.715, 10.045), so the distance between the two is 15.43 mm (mm) in the direction along the course. For another example, for example, the coordinates of the reference numeral 37 are (0.88, 2.045), so the distance from the center of the origin hole (0, 0), so the distance between the two is 0.88 mm (mm) along the course, along the column The direction distance is 2.045 mm (mm). The rest are all analogous.
故以上之實施例,具體的將40個電氣接觸點幾何中心與撓性電路板之原點孔20之圓心為基準點,該所有幾何中心與圓心的X軸及Y軸距離均清楚標示,此一實施例具體的揭露所有電氣接觸點幾何中心相對位置。但並不限制其他實施例。 Therefore, in the above embodiment, the center of the origin of the 40 electrical contact points and the origin hole 20 of the flexible circuit board is specifically used as a reference point, and the geometric centers of the X-axis and the Y-axis are clearly marked. An embodiment specifically discloses the relative positions of the geometric centers of all electrical contact points. However, other embodiments are not limited.
另一具體實施例,亦請參考第4圖及第5圖,該第4圖所標示的所有電氣接觸點幾何中心,不但以撓性電路板之原點孔20的圓心為基準點,每個所有電氣接觸點幾何中心的座標與上一實施例的(x,y)座標相同,即第4圖所示,本實施例如第5圖所示,還要分別於原座標向X軸增加與減少0.68公厘(mm),即新的x座標範圍為(x-0.68至x+0.68);而同樣於Y軸亦相同,即新的y座標範圍為(y-0.68至y+0.68),單位均為公厘(mm)。 For another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 . The geometric center of all electrical contact points indicated in FIG. 4 is not only based on the center of the origin hole 20 of the flexible circuit board, but each of them. The coordinates of the geometric center of all electrical contact points are the same as the (x, y) coordinates of the previous embodiment, that is, as shown in Fig. 4, the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5, is also added to and decreased from the original coordinate to the X-axis. 0.68 mm (mm), that is, the new x coordinate range is (x-0.68 to x+0.68); the same is true for the Y axis, that is, the new y coordinate range is (y-0.68 to y+0.68), the unit All are in mm (mm).
故本實施例的每一電氣接觸點幾何中心座標,是被限定落在一個正方形的面積範圍中的任一點,而該正方形面積的頂點即分別為(x+0.68,y+0.68)、(x-0.68,y+0.68)、(x-0.68,y-0.68)及(x+0.68,y-0.68)之四點所構成,因此任一電氣接觸點幾何中心座標,落於該正方形的面積範圍中的任一點,均為本實施例所涵蓋。 Therefore, the geometric center coordinates of each electrical contact point in this embodiment are any points defined to fall within the area of a square, and the vertices of the square area are (x+0.68, y+0.68), (x -0.68, y+0.68), (x-0.68, y-0.68) and (x+0.68, y-0.68) consist of four points, so the geometric center coordinates of any electrical contact point fall within the area of the square Any of the points is covered by this embodiment.
