Abstract

An electronic device unit includes a circuit board having: a sealing resin portion in which a region in which an electronic component is mounted is sealed by a sealing resin; and a board end portion exposed from a side of the sealing resin portion. A plurality of connection terminals are provided on the board end portion so as to be aligned in a direction of the side of the sealing resin portion, and a resin portion thicker than the board end portion and having a wall-like projection shape is provided at at least one of side surfaces of the board end portion in the direction of the side. The resin portion is integrally molded with the sealing resin portion of the circuit board and a side surface of the resin portion is press-fitted into an insertion chamber of a connector.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device unit comprising:

a circuit board having a sealing resin portion in which a region, in which an electronic component is mounted, is sealed by a sealing resin, and a board end portion exposed from one side of the sealing resin portion; and

a plurality of connection terminals provided on the board end portion and aligned in a direction of the one side of the sealing resin portion, the plurality of connection terminals being connected to terminals of a connector when the board end portion is inserted into the connector, wherein

a resin portion thicker than the board end portion is provided at at least one of side surfaces of the board end portion in the direction in which the plurality of connection terminals are aligned, and a side surface of the resin portion is press-fitted into an insertion chamber of the connector.

2. The electronic device unit according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin portion and the resin portion provided at the side surface of the board end portion are integrally molded by the sealing resin.

3. The electronic device unit according to claim 1 , wherein a distal end of the resin portion which is to be inserted into the connector has an inclined cross-sectional shape along a plane parallel to a surface of the circuit board.

4. The electronic device unit according to claim 1 , wherein a board end resin portion formed from the same material as the resin portion at the side surface of the board end portion is provided at a distal end portion of the board end portion of the circuit board which is to be inserted into the connector, and has an inclined cross-sectional shape along a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of connection terminals provided on the board end portion are aligned.

5. The electronic device unit according to claim 1 , wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of the resin portion are press-fitted into the insertion chamber of the connector.

6. The electronic device unit according to claim 5 , wherein a distal end of the resin portion which is to be inserted into the connector has an inclined cross-sectional shape along a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of connection terminals provided on the board end portion are aligned.

7. The electronic device unit according to claim 1 , wherein

a cutout region is provided at a center portion of the board end portion,

a second resin portion thicker than the board end portion is provided at a side surface portion of the board end portion which is in contact with the cutout region, and

a side surface of the second resin portion is press-fitted into the insertion chamber of the connector.

8. The electronic device unit according to claim 7 , wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of the second resin portion are press-fitted into the insertion chamber of the connector.
