Abstract:
A pressure adaptive contact structure for a flexible circuit board is disclosed, in which the flexible circuit board is provided with a weakening portion or a partly surrounding weakening portion between a plurality of first contact pads so that contact surfaces of the plurality of first contact pads are respectively contactable with corresponding ones of contact points to generate contact pressing forces applied to the contact points in a manner that the contact pressing forces are adaptively adjustable by the weakening portion to accommodate height differences between adjacent ones of the first contact pads to prevent the first contact pads from being stretched and pulled with respect to each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A contact structure for a flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board including plurality of first contact pads formed on a substrate of the flexible circuit board spaced from each other, a spacing zone arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of first contact pads, the contact structure comprising:\n at least one protection layer formed on the substrate; and a weakened portion formed in the spacing zone between adjacent ones of the first contact pads, the weakened portion defining a cutting line extending through both the substrate and the protection layer to be peripherally bounded thereby, contact surfaces of the plurality of first contact pads respectively maintaining contact with corresponding contact points of a contacting circuit board in adaptively adjustable manner to accommodate height differences between adjacent ones of the first contact pads, the weakened portions preventing the flexible circuit board about the first contact pads from being stretched and pulled.
