Abstract

Abstract A conductive metal wiring pattern 1 is printed and wired on a flexible insulation film 2, and has connection terminals 1a whose surfaces are treated into a solderable state by plating or the like. An overriding flexible insulation film 3 is formed such that it covers a portion excluding the connection terminals 1a. The connection terminals 1a are easily formed by printing, bonding and cutting out portions of the insulation film 2 between the connection terminals by a press to separate the connection terminal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A method of manufacturing connection terminals of a flexible wiring pattern substrate comprising: printing and writing a predetermined conductive metal wiring pattern with conductive paste on a first flexible insulation substrate, plating metal on at least a portion of said conductive metal wiring pattern thereby defining plated connection terminals, said plated connection terminals being located at an end of said substrate, covering said substrate excluding said plated connection terminals with an overriding, second flexible insulation substrate, and cutting out portions of said first flexible insulation substrate at said end of the substrate between said plated connection terminals by a press to separate said plated connection terminals.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 106 words
A method of manufacturing connection terminals of a flexible wiring pattern substrate comprising: printing and writing a predetermined conductive metal wiring pattern with conductive paste on a first flexible insulation substrate, plating metal on at least a portion of said conductive metal wiring pattern thereby defining plated connection terminals, said plated connection terminals being located at an end of said substrate, covering said substrate excluding said plated connection terminals with an overriding, second flexible insulation substrate, and cutting out portions of said first flexible insulation substrate at said end of the substrate between said plated connection terminals by a press to separate said plated connection terminals.
