[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are being used more and more widely, especially in fields such as smartphones, wearable devices, automotive electronics, and medical devices. FPCs are favored for their thinness and flexibility, but they also face the challenge of insufficient bending resistance. Traditional FPCs often need to be bent or folded during use, but their material and structural limitations make them prone to circuit breakage or functional failure under extreme bending conditions of 90° or 180°. This defect is particularly evident in high-frequency applications, seriously affecting the reliability and lifespan of devices.

[0003] When FPC is bent or folded, stress concentration often occurs, causing certain areas to bear excessive mechanical stress, which in turn leads to circuit damage. Utility Model Content

Under the action of the tension spring, the upper transition shaft and the lower transition shaft have an inward squeezing force to prevent the FPC circuit board body from separating from the anti-bending structure.

Under the action of the tension spring 12, the upper transition shaft 4 and the lower transition shaft 5 have an inward squeezing force to prevent the FPC circuit board body 1 from separating from the anti-bending structure 2.
