Abstract:
Amounting structure for mounting a flexible printed circuit board, comprising:a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) which has a terminals-formed portion on one side thereof with terminals being formed thereon in an exposed state;FPC holder with the terminals-formed portion of the flexible printed circuit board attached thereto;a printed circuit board having a mounting hole for mounting the terminals; anda chassis disposed above the printed circuit board, the chassis having a guide hole for guiding the terminals attached to the FPC holder into the mounting hole,wherein an inner surface of the guide hole is partially cut and raised to form a support projection, a holding portion which permits the support projection to be fitted therein is formed on the FPC holder, the FPC holder with the terminals-formed portion attached thereto is inserted into the guide hole, and the holding portion of the FPC holder is fitted on the support projection, thereby allowing the FPC holder to be supported by the chassis and allowing the terminals and circuit patterns formed on the printed circuit board to be rendered conductive with each other.
