Abstract
In a vehicle ceiling-mounting electric equipment assembly of the invention, an FPC ( ) is welded by heat to a casing ( ) of a lamp unit ( ), and an FFC ( ) for external connection is electrically connected to the FPC ( ) by press-clamping or welding. Switches ( ) and lamp socket holes ( ) are provided at the FPC ( ). An end portion of the FPC ( ) is folded to be inserted into a fitting portion ( ) of a recess-shape in which an optional member ( ) can be mounted, and a circuit pattern is exposed to a side surface of the fitting portion ( ) to form a connection portion. Therefore, the compact, lightweight design can be achieved, and parts, such as a connector, are unnecessary, thus reducing the number of the component parts.
