Abstract

A circuit board module includes a circuit board, a metal core printed circuit board, and a heating element. The circuit board includes a substrate, and a surface of the substrate has an assembling region. The metal core printed circuit board is on the assembling region and includes a first circuit layer and a second circuit layer. The first circuit layer and the second circuit layer are electrically connected to each other. The second circuit layer is electrically connected to the circuit board. The thermal conductivity of the metal core printed circuit board is greater than the thermal conductivity of the substrate. The heating element is on the metal core printed circuit board and is electrically connected to the first circuit layer. An electronic device having the circuit board module is also provided.
