Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A detector comprising a circuit board, a board-side connector which is mounted on the circuit board, and a flexible cable which has a terminal part inserted in the board-side connector, wherein a reinforcement member of the flexible cable is attached to an end part of the flexible cable which includes the terminal part, and the reinforcement member includes a foldable part which allows local bending of the end part of the flexible cable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a detector comprising a circuit board, a connector which is mounted on said circuit board, and a flexible cable which has a terminal part inserted in said connector, wherein, a reinforcement member of said flexible cable is attached to an end part of said flexible cable which includes said terminal part, said reinforcement member includes a foldable part which can be folded and deformed so as to allow local bending of said end part of said flexible cable, and said foldable part includes a weakened part which is formed to split by folding and deforming the foldable part, wherein the method of producing a detector comprising: attaching to said reinforcement member, an immobilizing member which immobilizes said foldable part so that said end part of said flexible cable cannot be bent, inserting into said connector, said terminal part of said flexible cable together with said reinforcement member having said immobilizing member attached thereto, detaching said immobilizing member from said reinforcement member, and folding and deforming the foldable part of said reinforcement member to split said weakened part, and locally bending said end part of said flexible cable along said foldable part. 2. The method of producing the detector according to claim 1 , wherein said weakened part is a slit or a perforation which is formed on said reinforcement member. 3. The method of producing the detector according to claim 1 or claim 2 , wherein said reinforcement member includes a plurality of foldable parts.
