A combination instrument has a base body ( ) which is split into display areas oriented at different angles relative to one another. An additional printed circuit ( ) extending over a plurality of display areas is arranged on the front of the base body ( ). This additional printed circuit comprises rigid printed circuit parts ( ) which have flexible connecting regions ( ) with conductor tracks in the junction region of the display areas.

Combination instrument

A combination instrument ( ) for displaying measured values and/or other information, having a flexible printed circuit ( ) on which electrical and/or electronic components ( ) are arranged, and with parts of the flexible printed circuit ( ) being clamped in between a rear face cover ( ) and a front face cover ( ), with the rear face cover ( ) to be made of metallic material.

Combination instrument for displaying measured values and/or other information, in particular for use in a motor vehicle

An instrument cluster has a rigid printed circuit board ( ) on the rear side of a basic ( ). On the front side, the basic body ( ) is partially covered by a supporting body ( ) which is connected in an articulated manner to the basic body ( ). A flexible printed circuit board ( ) extends over the front side of the basic body ( ) and the supporting body ( ), the printed circuit board having a connecting region ( ) which is deflected by a defined angle with respect to an edge region of the rigid printed circuit board ( ) and is connected to this printed circuit board ( ) by bow-type soldering ( ) for example.
