Abstract:
1. A connection structure for a printed wiring board to be electrically connected to a FPC, said FPC comprising: an elongated substrate; and a plurality of conductors laminated on a surface of said substrate and extending along an axial direction of said substrate; said printed wiring board comprising: an insertion opening; a plurality of line connecting terminals; a through hole; and a communication hole for communicating said through hole and said insertion opening; said insertion opening provided at an edge surface for a top end portion of said FPC to be inserted, said plurality of said line connecting terminals formed on an internal wall surface of said insertion opening and extending along an insertion direction of said FPC; said insertion opening comprising and attached therein a relay connector including plural elastic deformable second contacts, and a header and a second housing for holding said plurality of said second contacts; said second contact comprising a main body and a pair of arms, said main body abutting on said top end portion of said FPC, said pair of said arms extending substantially parallel with each other in said insertion direction of said FPC from said main body and abutting on said line connecting terminal, each of said second contacts is provided with a stationary terminal protruding from a tip of said relay connector; said header holding said main body of said second contacts with said plurality of said second contacts formed in a row; said second housing holding one of said arms of said second contacts with said plurality of said second contacts formed in a row, wherein said pair of arms of said relay connector pinching said conductor of said FPC by inserting said FPC into said insertion opening of said printed wiring board, said stationary terminal of said relay connector communicates with said communication hole and is attached to said through hole by soldering.
