The invention provides a printed circuit board and a detection method for detecting a connection between the printed circuit board and a flexible circuit board, and a display panel. The printed circuit board, through a connector provided thereon, is connected to a flexible circuit board, the printed circuit board is provided thereon with at least one first detection structure for matching with at least one second detection structure provided on the flexible circuit board, and whether or not a connection between the printed circuit board and the flexible circuit board is correct is determined by detecting matching between the first detection structures and the second detection structures. Pins of the printed circuit board may be correctly connected to pins of the flexible circuit board, and a case that short circuit occurs and thus the signal lines are damaged and burned can be avoided.

A front end of the top pressing plate has a pressing rib. The metal cover is movably arranged between an initial position and a pressed position.

Cable connectors for connecting two multicore cables are provided including a clamping sleeve, having a ceramic insulator with openings on each side of the sleeve, for accommodating core conductors. The clamping sleeve includes contact inserts passing through the clamping sleeve. Clamping elements are provided to clamp the core conductors to the contact inserts to electrically connect the multicore cables. The cable connector has a heat shrink tube that surrounds the clamping sleeve and the cables. Furthermore, cable termination including a clamping sleeve with a ceramic insulator with openings for core conductors is provided. Contact inserts are situated behind the openings to clamp the core conductors on the contact inserts establishing mechanical fixing of the core conductors on the clamping sleeve. The cable termination includes a heat shrink tube as according to the first aspect.

A connector for connecting a flexible interconnect circuit includes a base, having a first set of protrusions and a second set of protrusions. The first set of protrusions and the second set of protrusions are configured to secure the flexible interconnect circuit at a first set of apertures and a second set of apertures of the flexible interconnect circuit, respectively. The first set of protrusions may be positioned at a first distance from the second set of protrusions on the base. The first set of apertures may be positioned on the flexible interconnect circuit at a second distance, greater than the first distance, from the second set of apertures. The base causes the flexible interconnect circuit into an arched configuration when the apertures are secured to the respective protrusions. The connector further includes a cover piece configured to secure the flexible interconnect circuit in the arched configuration.

A connector includes a flat plate portion and one or more guide pins protruding formed on a surface of the flat plate portion, each of the one or more guide pins having a first fitting portion disposed on a root side of the guide pin and fitted with a first circuit board and a second fitting portion disposed on a tip side of the guide pin and fitted with a second circuit board, the first fitting portion being larger in size than the second fitting portion in a direction perpendicular to a connecting direction.

A garment connector includes a connector body, one or more contacts held by the connector body, one or more conductive members held by the connector body and corresponding to the one or more contacts, and a connector fixation member in a sheet-like shape held by the connector body and extending to an exterior of the connector body, the garment connector being attached to a garment by fixing the connector fixation member to the garment at the exterior of the connector body.

In an illustrative embodiment, a connector for interfacing a flexible circuitry device with an apparatus includes a housing having a lower housing portion and an upper housing portion with a button region for a button, circuit board(s) including contact(s) for interfacing with corresponding contact(s) of an I/O section of flexible circuitry, retention feature(s) for frictionally retaining the I/O section against the contact(s) of the circuit board(s), and a cable interface. When the button is in a retain position, the button creates a downward force on the retention feature(s) toward the lower housing portion, thereby frictionally retaining the I/O section of the flexible circuitry, and, when the button is in a release position, the retention feature(s) is displaced in a direction of the upper housing portion, thereby creating or widening an aperture for insertion of the I/O section.

A connector for connecting a flexible interconnect circuit includes a base, having a first set of protrusions and a second set of protrusions. The first set of protrusions and the second set of protrusions are configured to secure the flexible interconnect circuit at a first set of apertures and a second set of apertures of the flexible interconnect circuit, respectively. The first set of protrusions may be positioned at a first distance from the second set of protrusions on the base. The first set of apertures may be positioned on the flexible interconnect circuit at a second distance, greater than the first distance, from the second set of apertures.
