Patent ID: 7238044

Claim:
A connecting structure for a printed wiring board for electrically connecting an FPC, wherein said FPC comprises: an elongated substrate; and a conductor part laminated on a surface of said substrate, wherein said conductor part comprises: a plurality of conductors extending along an axial direction of said substrate; and contact terminals, each of which extends from a surface of a conductor toward a base end of said FPC, and each of which is elastically deformable, wherein said printed wiring board comprises: an insertion opening provided on an edge surface thereof for inserting an end portion of said FPC; and a plurality of line connecting terminals, which is formed on an internal wall surface of said insertion opening, extending along an insertion direction of said FPC, wherein when the end portion of said FPC is inserted into said insertion opening of said printed wiring board, a tip of each contact terminal of said FPC comes in pressure contact with a line connecting terminal by a force resulting from an elastic deformation of the contact terminal.
