Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to improve reliability in a solder connection portion between an electronic component and a wiring pattern. A pair of wiring patterns ( 31 A and 31 B) are formed on a circuit wiring board ( 30 ) with an insulation layer ( 37 ) therebetween. Each wiring pattern ( 31 A and 31 B) has a land ( 33 a or 33 b ) and a wiring portion ( 34 a or 34 b ) that is narrower than the land. By way of solder ( 42 ), a chip component ( 41 ) is soldered to the lands ( 33 a and 33 b ). The x (width) direction center (Xa) of each connection portion ( 53 ) where a respective wiring portion ( 34 a or 34 b ) is connected to a respective land ( 33 a or 33 b ) is disposed at a position that is outside of both the region in which a region of predetermined width (Wc) of the chip component ( 41 ) extends in the x (longitudinal) direction, and the region in which a region of predetermined length (Lc) of the chip component ( 41 ) extends in a y (transverse) direction.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic control device comprising:

a circuit wiring board in which a wiring pattern is formed on a base metal, with the wiring pattern including

a pair of patterns having a large area,

a pair of lands arranged between the pair of patterns at a predetermined interval and having an area smaller than that of the pair of patterns, and

a pair of wiring portions connecting the pair of lands and the pair of patterns respectively, wherein one of the pair of wiring portions connects a respective land of the pair of lands with a respective pattern of the pair of patters; and

an electronic component having a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction which is arranged normal to the traverse direction, wherein

the electronic component has electrodes having a predetermined length and a predetermined width, the electrodes being arranged in one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction respectively,

a respective electrode of the electronic component is connected to a respective land of the pair of lands,

the wiring portions of the pair of wiring portions are arranged so that each of a respective center in the width direction of a connection portion connecting a respective wiring portion of the pair of wiring portions to a respective land of the pair of lands is disposed at a position that is outside of both

a region formed when the predetermined width of the electronic component extends in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component,

a region formed when the predetermined length of the electronic component extends in the transverse direction of the electronic component,

at least one wiring portion of the pair of wiring portions is extended in the transverse direction of the electronic component,

a lateral side of the land of the pair of lands to which the least one of the wiring portions is connected on the farther side from the center line extending in the transverse direction of the electronic component, and

a lateral side of the least one of the wiring portions on the farther side from the center line extending in the transverse direction of the electronic component are connected to each other at a position where the distance from the center line extending in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component is the same for the respective lateral sides.

2. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the pair of the wiring portions are formed to be line-symmetric with each other with respect to the center line extending in the transverse direction of the electronic component.

3. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of the wiring portions are formed to be point-symmetric with each other with respect to the center of the electronic component.

4. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

each wiring portion of the pair of wiring portions is connected to the lateral side of a respective land of the pair of lands on the farther side from the center line extending in the transverse direction of the electronic component.

5. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein

each land of the pair of lands has a rectangular shape in which the length parallel to the longitudinal direction of the electronic component is shorter than the length parallel to the transverse direction of the electronic component in a plan view, and wherein a respective electrode of the pair of electrodes of the electronic component is connected to a respective land of the pair of lands by solder not containing lead.

6. The electronic control device according to claim 4 , wherein

each wiring portion of the pair of wiring portions is extended in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component.

7. The electronic control device according to claim 6 , wherein

the pair of the wiring portions are formed to be line-symmetric with each other with respect to the center line extending in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component.

8. The electronic control device according to claim 6 , wherein

the pair of the wiring portions are formed to be point-symmetric with each other with respect to the center of the electronic component.
