Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent sealing of bubbles in a through hole due to injection of solder when each contact of a printed circuit board is connected electrically by using the through hole of a flexible substrate, by a method wherein a part of the inner edge of a coverlay facing the through hole is so formed as to jut out inside the diameter of the through hole. CONSTITUTION:A coverlay 5 of a flexible substrate 1 provided on the opposite side to a printed circuit board has a structure wherein a part 5' of the inner edge of an opening thereof facing a through hole 3 juts out inside the through hole so that it covers a part of an opening of the through hole 3, in the shape of an arch (or a crescent). When solder 7 is injected from above the opening of the through hole 3 on the occasion of a soldering operation, the solder 7 is prevented from bridging through hole lands 4 and sealing bubbles 8 in the through hole 3 in such a manner as in usual examples and flows thereinto smoothly on account of the structure wherein the part 5' of the inner edge of the opening of the coverlay 5 juts out inside the diameter of the through hole 3.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, when soldering work was actually performed using the flexible circuit board having the conventional structure described above, electrical connection failures were found in the manufactured products. Since the existence of such defective electrical connections cannot be ignored in terms of product management, we have repeatedly investigated this problem and found that the cause is mainly due to the structure of the flexible circuit board.k. In other words, as shown in FIG. 4, when the through holes 3 of the flexible board 1 and the lands 6 of the printed circuit board 2 are made to face each other during soldering, the through holes 3 and the lands 6 are combined to form the inner space of a cup. It opens upwards to form a k-space. This void will form a portion into which solder 7 will be poured during soldering. However, due to this void, when solder 7 is injected from above the through hole 3, the solder bridged at the upper end of the through hole land 4 acts as a lid and seals the through hole 3, as shown in Figure 2. k. If such a bridging phenomenon occurs, the air inside the cavity will not be able to escape to the outside, resulting in being trapped in the through hole 3 as air bubbles 8.

In the above configuration, the coverlay is formed to ``protrude'' inward from the diameter of the through hole, which means that when injecting solder into the through hole, the solder flows smoothly to the bottom of the cavity of the through hole, and the solder flows through the through hole in the middle. Any structure is sufficient as long as it is sufficient to prevent phenomena such as crosslinking near the upper ends of the holes. In other words, if the above-mentioned overhanging structure is provided on the condition that the fluidized solder does not cover the entire surface of the opening of the through hole due to its surface tension, thereby preventing the internal air from escaping upward. For this purpose, specifically, the opening facing the through-hole of the coverlay is shaped like a half-moon, with a portion that protrudes from the inner diameter of the through-hole land that forms the through-hole. Fan shape. For example, it may have a polygonal shape, or if it is permissible in terms of strength, a thin bridge wire may be installed at a position such as the center of the opening.

[Function] According to the present invention configured as described above, when injecting solder into the through-hole, the coverlay partially covers the opening of the through-hole, so that the solder does not reach the upper end of the through-hole. To smoothly flow into a through hole 3 from one side of the through hole 3 without causing a bridging phenomenon, and to provide reliable solder connection between through hole lands and lands.
