Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a flexible printed circuit board which is hardly cut off so as to replace a conventional flexible printed board which is provided with an electric component mount to which over two wiring connections are connected and liable to be cut off as it is bent in two directions when it is mounted on an equipment. CONSTITUTION:In this circuit board as shown in a figure 1, a U-shaped bent 123a is provided to a halfway point of a joint 123 so as to absorb stress induced in the joint 123. In a flexible printed board of this design, the joint concerned is completely protected against breakage.
