Abstract
To increase the elasticity of an elastically deformable middle section of a printed-circuit board having at least two rigid circuit board sections provided with electric and/or electronic components and interconnected by the middle section, the middle section being provided with printed circuit traces extending from the first rigid section to the second rigid section, at least one opening is made in the elastically deformable middle section, the region of the middle section surrounding the opening forming at least two bars extending in a direction from the first rigid section to the second rigid section and laterally bordering the at least one opening, the printed circuit traces being arranged on the bars. When, in an electric/electronic device, the first rigid section of the printed-circuit board is fixedly joined to a component part supported in a vibration-damped manner, and the second rigid section is fixedly joined to the device housing, then vibrations are prevented from being transmitted from the printed-circuit board to the component part.
