Abstract:
1. A flexible-circuit-board cable, having a free end defining a connection zone and comprising a plurality of conductive contacts arranged in the connection zone, the flexible-circuit-board cable comprising a flexible circuit substrate, the connection zone being defined in the flexible circuit substrate and having a first surface and a second surface, an insulation layer being formed on the first surface of the flexible circuit substrate, at least one projection section being formed on the insulation layer of the first surface of the connection zone and the projection section being raised above a reference datum plane defined by the first surface of the connection zone by a predetermined height and extends on the reference datum plane in a direction toward a location adjacent to the conductive contacts of the connection zone, the second surface of the connection zone being bonded to a substrate and at least one projection section being formed on an undersurface of the substrate, the projection section projecting beyond a reference datum plane defined by the second surface of the connection zone by a predetermined height and extending along the reference datum plane in a direction to be adjacent to the connection zone; whereby when the connection zone of the flexible-circuit-board cable is inserted into an insertion space defined in a connector, at least a local zone defined by the projection section is put into engagement with and thus positioned and retained by opposite walls of the insertion space of the connector.
