Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an FPC component, more specifically, to an FPC component for preventing a short circuit of an FPC gold finger. Background Art
[0002] Car screens are used in all aspects of life. When using car screens, flexible circuit boards FPC are used as the carrier of the circuit. When welding the PIN corners of the flexible circuit board FPC, the gold fingers on the FPC board are closely connected to each other, such as Figure 6 As shown, adjacent PIN pins 110 are easily short-circuited together, thereby causing functional abnormalities and resulting in functional damage to the sample.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent document CN215268952U discloses a gold-plated lead to avoid short circuit of gold fingers. The gold-plated lead is attached to the edge of the PCB board; it includes a fixed part and an extension part; the fixed part is located at the upper end of the extension part, the fixed part is the gold finger part and the connecting part, and the extension part is the first processing part and the second processing part; the gold finger part, the connecting part, the first processing part, and the second processing part are connected in sequence. The connecting part is a rectangular structure with a width of 12-20mil and is directly connected to the gold finger part. The first processing part is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, the lower bottom is directly connected to the connecting part, and the width is the same as the connecting part. The upper bottom of the isosceles trapezoidal structure is directly connected to the second processing part, and the width is the same as the second processing part. The width of the upper bottom of the isosceles trapezoidal structure is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the width of the lower bottom. The second processing part is a rectangular structure, and the length extending toward the edge of the PCB board is 0.2-1.0mm. The rectangular structure of the second processing part has a direct contact part with the edge line of the PCB. The portion where the rectangular structure of the second processing portion directly contacts the edge line of the PCB is the cutting portion.
[0004] Obviously, the patent has an extension part connected to the fixed part, and the extension part is the first processing part and the second processing part. The width of the rectangular structure of the second processing part is relatively small, and the material quality of the gold-plated lead is also relatively small. When the cutting process is performed, the traction force of the cutting is not enough to break the adhesion between the connecting part and the PCB board, which can prevent the gold-plated lead from being torn off as a whole; thanks to the fact that the cutting traction force is not enough to overcome the adhesion in the connecting PCB board and the relatively small amount of residual lead pulled up, the overlap with the adjacent gold-plated lead or even the gold finger is avoided, thereby avoiding the short circuit and improving the quality yield. However, this method cannot solve the short circuit problem of the existing gold finger. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an FPC component that avoids short circuit of FPC gold fingers in view of the above technical problems. The FPC component that avoids short circuit of FPC gold fingers includes a base film layer, a first copper layer is provided on the lower surface of the base film layer, a first PI layer is provided on the lower surface of the first copper layer, a second copper layer is provided on the upper surface of the base film layer, a second PI layer is provided on the upper surface of the second copper layer, a plurality of first gold fingers are provided on the edge of the upper surface of the base film layer, the first PI layer fills the gaps between the first gold fingers, and the thickness of the first PI layer is greater than the thickness of the first gold fingers, a plurality of second gold fingers are provided on the edge of the lower surface of the base film layer, the second PI layer fills the gaps between the second gold fingers, and the thickness of the second PI layer is greater than the thickness of the first gold fingers.
