Abstract:
A foldable signal transmission cable assembly includes parallelly extended first and second cables, which are connected at opposite first and second ends by transverse first and second connecting sections, respectively, and have first and second connectors provided at the first end of the first cable and at the second end of the first or the second cable, respectively, to electrically connect to signal lines provided on the first and second cables and the first and second connecting sections. The first and second connecting sections may be bent along folding lines provided at middle points thereof, so as to turn and locate the second cable below the first cable.

Abstract:
A bundled flexible flat circuit cable includes a flexible substrate that forms at least one cluster section having an end forming at least one first connection section and an opposite end forming at least one second connection section. Both the first and second connection sections or one of the first and second connection sections form a stack structure. The flexible substrate can be of a structure of single-sided or double-sided substrate and may additionally include an electromagnetic shielding layer. A bundling structure is provided to bundle the cluster section at a predetermined location to form a bundled structure. The bundling structure can be made of a shielding material, an insulation material, or a combination of shielding material and insulation material.
Abstract:
A flat cable includes an enclosure sleeve that encloses a selected section of a cluster section of a flexible substrate. The enclosure sleeve has opposite ends respectively coupled to a first water resistant member and a second water resistant member. Each water resistant member includes a base forming a hollow channel and an insertion end extending from the base. The insertion end is fit to an inside or outside wall of an end of the enclosure sleeve. The first water resistant member, the second water resistant member, and the enclosure sleeve are combined together to form a water resistant section. When the flexible substrate is subjected to a stretching force in an extension direction or a torque applied in a rotation direction, the flexible substrate is allowed to undergo relative displacement with respect to the first water resistant member, the second water resistant member, and the enclosure sleeve.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a detachment and displacement protection structure for insertion of flexible circuit flat cable. An inserter positioning section is formed on a flexible circuit flat cable and coupled with an inserter, which includes a metal member and a plastic member. In assembling, the plastic member is first positioned on a first surface of the inserter positioning section of the flexible circuit flat cable, and then the metal member is fit over the plastic member. A detachment and displacement protection structure is provided on the inserter positioning section to constrain the inserter from displacing and detaching in a flat cable extension direction due to being acted upon by an external force when the inserter is positioned on the inserter positioning section.

Abstract:
A rigid-flex PCB includes at least one rigid PCB (RPCB) and at least one flexible PCB (FPCB). Each RPCB has a connection section; first and second sections separately extended from two lateral edges of the connection section and having at least one FPCB bonding side each; and a weakening structure formed along each joint of the connection section and the first and second sections. Each FPCB has a bending section corresponding to the connection section on the RPCB; first and second sections separately extended from two lateral edges of the bending section and having at least one RPCB bonding side each corresponding to the FPCB bonding sides of the first and second sections of the RPCB. When a proper pressure is applied against the weakening structures, the RPCB may be easily bent broken at the weakening structures to remove the connection section therefrom.
