It is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of needle-like crystals (whiskers) on the surface of the connection conductor 23 that has been subjected to tin plating or gold plating.

図3は、接続部材付きフラットケーブル1の右端部の拡大断面図である。図3に示すように、フラットケーブル10と接続部材20の接続箇所において、第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aおよび第二絶縁フィルム4の端部4aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aと、基材22の端部22aから突き出た接続導体23の端部23aとが、ハンダで接着されている。ハンダは融点が220〜240℃のものが使用できる。低融点ハンダ(融点が180℃以下)のハンダを用いることもできる。前記平角導体2の断面積は前記接続導体23の断面積と異なっていてもよい。平角導体2と接続導体23との接続部分では、ケーブルの他の箇所と違って局所的にインピーダンスに乱れが生じやすい。導体の断面積を調整して、局所的なインピーダンスの不整合を最小にして、接続部材を含むケーブル全体で高い伝送性能を得ることができる。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the right end portion of the flat cable 1 with a connecting member. As shown in FIG. 3, at the connection location of the flat cable 10 and the connecting member 20, the end 2 a of the flat conductor 2 protruding from the end 3 a of the first insulating film 3 and the end 4 a of the second insulating film 4, The end portion 23a of the connection conductor 23 protruding from the end portion 22a of the base material 22 is bonded with solder. A solder having a melting point of 220 to 240 ° C. can be used. Low melting point solder (melting point of 180 ° C. or lower) can also be used. The cross-sectional area of the flat conductor 2 may be different from the cross-sectional area of the connection conductor 23. Unlike the other portions of the cable, impedance is likely to be locally disturbed at the connection portion between the flat conductor 2 and the connection conductor 23. By adjusting the cross-sectional area of the conductor to minimize local impedance mismatch, high transmission performance can be obtained over the entire cable including the connecting member.

ハンダで接着された平角導体2の端部2aと接続導体23の端部23aには、第一保護フィルム41および第二保護フィルム42が貼り合わされている。第一保護フィルム41は、平角導体2の配列面の上面に設けられている。第一保護フィルム41は、第一絶縁フィルム3の上面、平角導体2の端部2aの上面、接続導体23の上面に跨って貼り合わされている。第一保護フィルム41は接続導体23が一部露出された状態で、貼られている。第一保護フィルム41は、平角導体2の突き出た端部2aを覆うが、第一絶縁フィルム3上に貼られていなくてもよい。第二保護フィルム42は、平角導体2の配列面の下面に設けられている。第二保護フィルム42は、第二絶縁フィルム4の下面、接続導体23の端部23aの下面、基材22の下面に跨って貼り合わされている。   A first protective film 41 and a second protective film 42 are bonded to the end 2a of the flat conductor 2 and the end 23a of the connecting conductor 23 which are bonded with solder. The first protective film 41 is provided on the upper surface of the arrangement surface of the flat conductors 2. The first protective film 41 is bonded across the upper surface of the first insulating film 3, the upper surface of the end 2 a of the flat conductor 2, and the upper surface of the connection conductor 23. The first protective film 41 is stuck in a state where the connection conductor 23 is partially exposed. The first protective film 41 covers the protruding end portion 2 a of the flat conductor 2, but may not be attached to the first insulating film 3. The second protective film 42 is provided on the lower surface of the arrangement surface of the rectangular conductors 2. The second protective film 42 is bonded across the lower surface of the second insulating film 4, the lower surface of the end 23 a of the connection conductor 23, and the lower surface of the base material 22.

第一保護フィルム41および第二保護フィルム42は、平角導体2および接続導体23を上下方向から挟み込んで、平角導体2の端部2aおよび接続導体23の端部23aを周囲から絶縁し、さらに平角導体2の端部2aおよび接続導体23の端部23aの機械的強度を高めている。第一保護フィルム41および第二保護フィルム42は、第一絶縁フィルム3および第二絶縁フィルム4と同じ材質のもので構成することができる。   The first protective film 41 and the second protective film 42 sandwich the flat conductor 2 and the connecting conductor 23 from above and below, insulate the end 2a of the flat conductor 2 and the end 23a of the connecting conductor 23 from the surroundings. The mechanical strength of the end 2a of the conductor 2 and the end 23a of the connecting conductor 23 is increased. The first protective film 41 and the second protective film 42 can be made of the same material as the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4.

また、図示の例においては、フラットケーブル10の端部に補強板14が貼り付けられている。補強板14は、接続部材20の基材22に貼り合わされている第二保護フィルム42に貼り合わされている。補強板14は、フラットケーブル10から接続部材20に跨るように、第二保護フィルム42に貼り合わされている。補強板14は、保護フィルム41,42よりも厚肉の部材であり、保護フィルム41,42よりも曲げ剛性が高い。補強板14は、第一保護フィルム41および第二保護フィルム42と同じ材料で構成することができる。補強板14を貼る接着剤は保護フィルム41,42を貼る接着剤と異なってもよい。補強板14を設けることにより、フラットケーブル10の端部の曲げ剛性が高まり、電子機器などと接続しやすくなる。第二保護フィルム42を省略して補強板14をフラットケーブル10と接続部材20の下面に貼ってもよい。   In the illustrated example, a reinforcing plate 14 is attached to the end of the flat cable 10. The reinforcing plate 14 is bonded to a second protective film 42 that is bonded to the base material 22 of the connection member 20. The reinforcing plate 14 is bonded to the second protective film 42 so as to straddle the connecting member 20 from the flat cable 10. The reinforcing plate 14 is a thicker member than the protective films 41 and 42, and has higher bending rigidity than the protective films 41 and 42. The reinforcing plate 14 can be made of the same material as the first protective film 41 and the second protective film 42. The adhesive for sticking the reinforcing plate 14 may be different from the adhesive for sticking the protective films 41 and 42. Providing the reinforcing plate 14 increases the bending rigidity of the end portion of the flat cable 10 and facilitates connection to an electronic device or the like. You may abbreviate | omit the 2nd protective film 42 and affix the reinforcement board 14 on the lower surface of the flat cable 10 and the connection member 20. FIG.

なお、図3においては、第一保護フィルム41が、接続導体23の上面と、第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aの上面と、第一絶縁フィルム3の上面とに跨るように貼り付けられた例を示したが、本発明はこれに限られない。第一保護フィルム41は、接続導体23の上面の一部と、第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aの上面のみを覆うように構成してもよい。
また、図3においては、第二保護フィルム42が、第二絶縁フィルム4の下面と、接続導体23の下面と、基材22の下面とに跨るように貼り付けられた例を示したが、本発明はこれに限られない。第二保護フィルム42は、接続導体23の下面のみを覆うように構成してもよい。
In FIG. 3, the first protective film 41 includes the upper surface of the connection conductor 23, the upper surface of the end 2 a of the flat conductor 2 protruding from the end 3 a of the first insulating film 3, and the first insulating film 3. Although the example pasted so that it may straddle the upper surface was shown, the present invention is not limited to this. The first protective film 41 may be configured to cover only a part of the upper surface of the connection conductor 23 and the upper surface of the end portion 2a of the flat conductor 2 protruding from the end portion 3a of the first insulating film 3.
Moreover, in FIG. 3, although the 2nd protective film 42 showed the example affixed so that the lower surface of the 2nd insulating film 4, the lower surface of the connection conductor 23, and the lower surface of the base material 22 was shown, The present invention is not limited to this. The second protective film 42 may be configured to cover only the lower surface of the connection conductor 23.

また、第一絶縁フィルム3の材質および第二絶縁フィルム4の材質は基材22の材質と異なっていてもよい。これにより、様々な特性のフィルムを組み合わせることができる。
例えば、基材22に弾性率の高い曲がりにくい材質を用いて、第一絶縁フィルム3や第二絶縁フィルム4に弾性率の低い曲げやすい材質を用いることができる。この場合には、しなやかで変形が自在でありながら、端部では曲がりにくく外部機器との接続作業が容易な接続部材付きフラットケーブル1が得られる。
The material of the first insulating film 3 and the material of the second insulating film 4 may be different from the material of the base material 22. Thereby, films having various characteristics can be combined.
For example, a material having a high elastic modulus that is difficult to bend can be used for the base material 22, and a bendable material having a low elastic modulus can be used for the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4. In this case, it is possible to obtain the flat cable 1 with a connecting member that is flexible and can be freely deformed but is difficult to bend at the end portion and can be easily connected to an external device.

上記実施形態において、絶縁フィルムは、平角導体2の配列面の一方(上面)に貼り合わされた第一絶縁フィルム3と、平角導体2の配列面の他方(下面)に貼り合わされた第二絶縁フィルム4と、を有している。この第一絶縁フィルム3の材質は第二絶縁フィルム4の材質と異なっていてもよい。これにより、様々な特性のフィルムを組み合わせることができる。
例えば、曲がりにくい特性が求められる接続部材付きフラットケーブル1において、第一絶縁フィルム3を高い弾性率の樹脂で構成し、第一絶縁フィルム3で十分な曲がりにくい特性が得られる場合には、第二絶縁フィルム4をそれよりも安価で低い弾性率の樹脂で構成することができる。これにより、曲がりにくい接続部材付きフラットケーブル1を安価に提供できる。
In the said embodiment, an insulating film is the 1st insulating film 3 affixed on one (upper surface) of the arrangement surface of the flat conductor 2, and the 2nd insulating film affixed on the other (lower surface) of the arrangement surface of the flat conductor 2 4. The material of the first insulating film 3 may be different from the material of the second insulating film 4. Thereby, films having various characteristics can be combined.
For example, in the flat cable 1 with a connecting member that is required to have a characteristic that is difficult to bend, when the first insulating film 3 is made of a resin having a high elastic modulus and the first insulating film 3 has a characteristic that is difficult to bend, The two insulating films 4 can be made of a resin having a lower elastic modulus at a lower cost. Thereby, the flat cable 1 with a connection member which is hard to bend can be provided at low cost.

<フラットケーブルの製造方法>
次に、上記構造の接続部材付きフラットケーブル1を製造する方法について説明する。接続部材付きフラットケーブル1は、フラットケーブル10と接続部材20を別々に作製した後に、両者を貼り合せることにより製造される。
<Flat cable manufacturing method>
Next, a method for manufacturing the flat cable 1 with the connection member having the above structure will be described. The flat cable 1 with the connecting member is manufactured by separately manufacturing the flat cable 10 and the connecting member 20 and then bonding them together.

図4は、フラットケーブル10の製造方法を示す斜視図である。図5は、長尺フラットケーブル10の平面図である。図4に示すように、それぞれ長尺の平角導体2が巻き取られている複数のリール30から平角導体2を送り出して所定の並列ピッチで同一平面状に配列する。そして、これらの平角導体2の配列面の表裏に、リール31から長尺の第一絶縁フィルム3と第二絶縁フィルム4を送り出してヒータローラ32間に通し、第一絶縁フィルム3と第二絶縁フィルム4を加熱すると同時に圧着して貼り合わせて長尺フラットケーブル10aとする。この長尺フラットケーブル10aを巻き取りローラ33に巻き取る。第一絶縁フィルム3および第二絶縁フィルム4の長手方向の一部には、窓部35が形成されている。   FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a method for manufacturing the flat cable 10. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the long flat cable 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the rectangular conductors 2 are sent out from a plurality of reels 30 around which the long rectangular conductors 2 are wound, and are arranged in the same plane at a predetermined parallel pitch. And the long 1st insulating film 3 and the 2nd insulating film 4 are sent out from the reel 31 to the front and back of the arrangement surface of these flat conductors 2, and it passes between the heater rollers 32, and the 1st insulating film 3 and the 2nd insulating film 4 is heated and pressure-bonded at the same time and bonded to obtain a long flat cable 10a. The long flat cable 10 a is wound around the winding roller 33. A window portion 35 is formed in a part of the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4 in the longitudinal direction.

図5に示すように、長尺フラットケーブル10aを鎖線C1で示す位置で切断し、第一絶縁フィルム3および第二絶縁フィルム4の幅方向両端の余剰部分(耳と呼ばれる部分)を除去する。これにより、窓部35の幅方向両端部で第一絶縁フィルム3と第二絶縁フィルム4とが長手方向に繋がった箇所が除去される。この工程は、第一絶縁フィルム3と第二絶縁フィルム4を貼り合わせる工程と同じとしてもよく、別工程としてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 5, the long flat cable 10 a is cut at a position indicated by a chain line C <b> 1, and excess portions (portions called ears) at both ends in the width direction of the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4 are removed. Thereby, the location where the 1st insulating film 3 and the 2nd insulating film 4 were connected to the longitudinal direction in the width direction both ends of the window part 35 is removed. This step may be the same as the step of bonding the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4 or may be a separate step.

さらに、長尺フラットケーブル10aを、窓部35を通る鎖線C2で示す位置で切断する。これにより、長尺フラットケーブル10aは所定の長さに切り分けられ、長手方向の両端で平角導体2の端部2aが第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aおよび第二絶縁フィルム4の端部4aから突き出したフラットケーブル10が得られる。   Further, the long flat cable 10 a is cut at a position indicated by a chain line C <b> 2 passing through the window portion 35. Thereby, the long flat cable 10a is cut into a predetermined length, and the end 2a of the flat conductor 2 is separated from the end 3a of the first insulating film 3 and the end 4a of the second insulating film 4 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The protruding flat cable 10 is obtained.

さらに、図示しないが、基材22上に、複数本の接続導体23を平面状に配列させ、接続導体23の長手方向の端部が基材22の長手方向の端部から突き出した接続部材20を作製する。   Further, although not shown, a plurality of connection conductors 23 are arranged in a planar shape on the base material 22, and the connection member 20 in which the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the connection conductor 23 protrudes from the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the base material 22. Is made.

図6は、接続部材20をフラットケーブル10に接続する工程を示す断面図である。まず、図6の(a)に示すように、フラットケーブル10と、接続部材20を用意する。   FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a process of connecting the connecting member 20 to the flat cable 10. First, as shown in FIG. 6A, a flat cable 10 and a connecting member 20 are prepared.

次に、図6の(b)に示すように、絶縁フィルム3,4の端部3a,4aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aと、接続部材20の基材22の端部22aから突き出た接続導体23の端部23aとを、ハンダで接着する。平角導体2と接続導体23の少なくとも一方をハンダ浴に浸けてハンダを付着させることが好ましい。平角導体2と接続導体23の間に固形またはペースト状のハンダを挟んでもよい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the end 2 a of the flat conductor 2 protruding from the ends 3 a and 4 a of the insulating films 3 and 4 and the end 22 a of the base member 22 of the connecting member 20 are protruded. The end 23a of the connecting conductor 23 is bonded with solder. It is preferable to attach solder by immersing at least one of the flat conductor 2 and the connecting conductor 23 in a solder bath. Solid or paste solder may be sandwiched between the flat conductor 2 and the connecting conductor 23.

平角導体2の端部2aおよび接続導体23の端部23aのうち、長手方向の1mm程度の部位をパルスヒートツールPで加熱しながら押さえつけて付着したハンダを溶融させ、その後に冷却してハンダを固化させることにより、平角導体2と接続導体23をハンダ付けすることができる。樹脂製の部材に熱が伝わりにくいように、加熱する部位は、第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3a、第二絶縁フィルム4の端部4a、基材22の端部22aから離間した部位とすることが好ましい。   Of the end portion 2a of the flat conductor 2 and the end portion 23a of the connecting conductor 23, a portion of about 1 mm in the longitudinal direction is pressed while being heated by the pulse heat tool P to melt the attached solder, and then cooled to remove the solder. By solidifying, the flat conductor 2 and the connection conductor 23 can be soldered. The portions to be heated are separated from the end portion 3a of the first insulating film 3, the end portion 4a of the second insulating film 4, and the end portion 22a of the base material 22 so that heat is not easily transmitted to the resin member. It is preferable.

次に、図6の(c)に示すように、互いにハンダで接着された平角導体2と接続導体23に、配列面の両面から第一保護フィルム41および第二保護フィルム42を貼り合せる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the first protective film 41 and the second protective film 42 are bonded to the flat conductor 2 and the connecting conductor 23 which are bonded to each other by soldering from both sides of the arrangement surface.

さらに、図6の(d)に示すように、接続部材20の基材22に貼り合わされている第二保護フィルム42に補強板14を貼り合せる。補強板14には、第二保護フィルム42に良好に接着できる接着剤が塗布されていることが好ましい。
以上の工程により、図1や図2に示した、接続部材付きフラットケーブル1が完成する。
Further, as shown in FIG. 6D, the reinforcing plate 14 is bonded to the second protective film 42 bonded to the base material 22 of the connection member 20. The reinforcing plate 14 is preferably coated with an adhesive that can adhere well to the second protective film 42.
The flat cable 1 with a connecting member shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is completed through the above steps.

本実施形態に係る接続部材付きフラットケーブル1およびその製造方法によれば、図6の(b)に示したように、平角導体2と接続導体23とをハンダ付けする際に、加熱される部位が第一絶縁フィルム3、第二絶縁フィルム4、基材22に接していないため、第一絶縁フィルム3、第二絶縁フィルム4、基材22といった樹脂部材が高温に曝されない。このため、ハンダ付けの際に、平角導体2と接続導体23の周囲の樹脂部材が熱により劣化することを抑制できる。   According to the flat cable 1 with a connecting member and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the portion to be heated when soldering the flat conductor 2 and the connecting conductor 23. However, since the first insulating film 3, the second insulating film 4, and the base material 22 are not in contact with each other, the resin members such as the first insulating film 3, the second insulating film 4, and the base material 22 are not exposed to high temperatures. For this reason, at the time of soldering, it can suppress that the resin member around the flat conductor 2 and the connection conductor 23 deteriorates with heat.

図7は、本発明の変形例1に係る接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Aの製造方法を示す断面図である。本変形例においては、図7の(a)に示すように、第二保護フィルム42Aは、第一保護フィルム41より厚肉の基材フィルム43上に、接着層44が設けられている。この第二保護フィルム42Aの接着層44を、第二絶縁フィルム4、接続導体23の端部23a、基材22を跨るように貼り付ける。   FIG. 7: is sectional drawing which shows the manufacturing method of 1A of flat cables with a connection member which concerns on the modification 1 of this invention. In the present modification, as shown in FIG. 7A, the second protective film 42 </ b> A is provided with an adhesive layer 44 on a base film 43 that is thicker than the first protective film 41. The adhesive layer 44 of the second protective film 42 </ b> A is pasted so as to straddle the second insulating film 4, the end 23 a of the connection conductor 23, and the base material 22.

本変形例に係る接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Aによれば、第二保護フィルム42Aの基材フィルム43が第一保護フィルム41よりも厚いフィルムで構成されており、曲げ剛性が高められている。これにより、第二保護フィルム42Aが第一実施形態の補強板14の機能を果たしている。   According to the flat cable 1A with a connecting member according to this modification, the base film 43 of the second protective film 42A is made of a film thicker than the first protective film 41, and the bending rigidity is enhanced. Thereby, 42 A of 2nd protective films have fulfill | performed the function of the reinforcement board 14 of 1st embodiment.

また、本変形例に係る接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Aによれば、第二保護フィルム42Aは、基材フィルム43上の接着層44が、平角導体2同士の間、接続導体23同士の間を埋めることにより、互いに電気的に接触することを防止している。この接着層44を構成する接着剤としては、銅害で変質せず、また、電気特性(インピーダンス)を損なわないものなど、化学的および電気的に優れた特性を有することが好ましい。また、この接着剤により、ハンダ付けした箇所にウィスカやエレクトロケミカルマイグレーションが生じることを防止できる。接続導体23の下に樹脂フィルムを当ててもよい。この樹脂フィルムも、銅害で変質せず、また、電気特性(インピーダンス)を損なわないものなど、化学的および電気的に優れた特性を有することが好ましい。   Moreover, according to the flat cable 1A with a connecting member according to this modification, the second protective film 42A has the adhesive layer 44 on the base film 43 buried between the flat conductors 2 and between the connecting conductors 23. This prevents electrical contact with each other. The adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 44 preferably has excellent chemical and electrical characteristics, such as an adhesive that does not deteriorate due to copper damage and does not impair electrical characteristics (impedance). Moreover, it can prevent that a whisker and an electrochemical migration arise in the soldered location with this adhesive agent. A resin film may be applied under the connection conductor 23. It is preferable that this resin film also has chemically and electrically excellent characteristics, such as a resin film that does not deteriorate due to copper damage and does not impair electrical characteristics (impedance).

なお、上述の実施形態においては、接続部材20において、接続導体23の下面に基材22が貼り付けられて接続導体23の上面に部材が貼り付けられていない例を説明したが、本発明はこれに限らない。   In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the base member 22 is attached to the lower surface of the connection conductor 23 and the member is not attached to the upper surface of the connection conductor 23 in the connection member 20 has been described. Not limited to this.

接続部材20Bは、基材22と、基材22の一方の面に貼り合わされた接続導体23と、基材22と反対側において接続導体23に貼り合わされた第三絶縁フィルム24、補強板14を有している。接続導体23のフラットケーブル10に近い側の端部23aは、基材22の端部22aおよび第三絶縁フィルム24の端部から突き出ている。接続導体23のフラットケーブル10から遠い側の端部は、第三絶縁フィルム24から露出されている。基材22の下面に補強板14が貼り合わされている。   The connection member 20 </ b> B includes a base material 22, a connection conductor 23 bonded to one surface of the base material 22, a third insulating film 24 and a reinforcing plate 14 bonded to the connection conductor 23 on the side opposite to the base material 22. Have. An end 23 a of the connecting conductor 23 near the flat cable 10 protrudes from the end 22 a of the base material 22 and the end of the third insulating film 24. The end of the connecting conductor 23 on the side far from the flat cable 10 is exposed from the third insulating film 24. The reinforcing plate 14 is bonded to the lower surface of the base material 22.

第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aおよび第二絶縁フィルム4の端部4aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aと、基材22の端部22aおよび第三絶縁フィルム24の端部から突き出た接続導体23の端部23aが、ハンダ付けされている。
なお、図8に示したように、第一絶縁フィルム3の端部3aおよび第二絶縁フィルム4の端部4aから突き出た平角導体2の端部2aと、基材22の端部22aおよび第三絶縁フィルム24の端部から突き出た接続導体23の端部23aは、互いに完全に重なっていなくてもよい。
Projected from the end 3a of the first insulating film 3 and the end 2a of the flat conductor 2 projecting from the end 4a of the second insulating film 4, and projecting from the end 22a of the substrate 22 and the end of the third insulating film 24 The end 23a of the connection conductor 23 is soldered.
As shown in FIG. 8, the end 2 a of the flat conductor 2 protruding from the end 3 a of the first insulating film 3 and the end 4 a of the second insulating film 4, the end 22 a of the substrate 22, and the second The end portions 23a of the connection conductors 23 protruding from the end portions of the three insulating films 24 may not completely overlap each other.

In FIG. 8, the second protective film 42 is bonded to the end 2 a of the soldered flat conductor 2 and the end 23 a of the connecting conductor 23 via a resin 44 such as an adhesive.

図8に示した接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Bによれば、基材22および第三絶縁フィルム24が、接続導体23の両面を支持しているため、接続部材20Bの強度が高まっている。このため、接続部材20Bが変形しにくく、接続部材20Bを外部機器などへ接続する際の作業性が向上されている。   According to the flat cable 1B with a connecting member shown in FIG. 8, since the base material 22 and the third insulating film 24 support both surfaces of the connecting conductor 23, the strength of the connecting member 20B is increased. For this reason, the connecting member 20B is not easily deformed, and the workability when connecting the connecting member 20B to an external device or the like is improved.

図8に示した接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Bにおいて、第三絶縁フィルム24の材質は第一絶縁フィルム3の材質や第二絶縁フィルム4や基材22の材質と同じでも異なっていてもよい。これにより、様々な特性のフィルムを組み合わせることができる。
例えば、基材22や第三絶縁フィルム24に弾性率の高い曲がりにくい材質を用いて、第一絶縁フィルム3や第二絶縁フィルム4に弾性率の低い曲げやすい材質を用いることができる。この場合には、しなやかで自在に変形が可能なケーブルでありながら、端部の接続部材20Bでは曲がりにくく外部機器との接続作業が容易な接続部材付きフラットケーブル1Bが得られる。
In the flat cable 1B with the connecting member shown in FIG. 8, the material of the third insulating film 24 may be the same as or different from the material of the first insulating film 3, the material of the second insulating film 4 and the base material 22. Thereby, films having various characteristics can be combined.
For example, the base material 22 and the third insulating film 24 can be made of a material having a high elastic modulus and hardly bent, and the first insulating film 3 and the second insulating film 4 can be made of a material having a low elastic modulus and being easily bent. In this case, a flat cable 1B with a connecting member that is flexible and can be freely deformed but is not easily bent by the connecting member 20B at the end and can be easily connected to an external device is obtained.
