Patent ID: 7482800

Claim:
A connecting structure of a wired circuit board comprising: a first wired circuit board comprising: a first insulating base layer; a first conductive pattern formed on the first insulating base layer; a metallic supporting layer formed on the first insulating base layer on a side opposite the first conductive pattern; and first terminals formed along an edge of the first wired circuit board, the first terminals comprising: terminal cutouts that are formed by cutting out an edge portion of the first conductive pattern along a direction that is orthogonal to a thickness direction of the first conductive pattern, insulating base layer cutouts that are formed by cutting out areas that correspond to cutout areas defined by the terminal cutouts, metallic supporting layer cutouts formed by cutting out areas that correspond to the cutout areas defined by the insulating base layer cutouts, wherein a plurality of the first terminals are provided at spaced intervals along the edge of the first wired circuit board, and projections are provided that project from an edge of the metallic supporting layer along a direction orthogonal to a thickness direction of the metallic supporting layer, the projections being provided between adjacent first terminals, and a second wired circuit board comprising: a second insulating base layer; a second conductive pattern that is formed on the second insulating base layer; and second terminals that are adapted to be connected with the first terminals of the first wired circuit board, the second terminals being provided at spaced intervals on the second insulating base layer, and positioning holes that extend through the second insulating base layer in a thickness direction and are formed between adjacent second terminals, wherein the positioning holes are adapted to receive the projections from the first wired circuit board to align the second wired circuit board and the first wired circuit board.
