Abstract

According to one embodiment, there is provided a printed circuit board, including a frame ground portion in which conductor patterns are formed around a board-fixation hole, and a plurality of through-holes formed around the board-fixation hole in the frame ground portion.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a board with a first face and a second face provided opposite to the first face, the board including a first through-hole;

a conductor pattern portion formed at least on the second face and around the first through-hole of the board;

a plurality of additional through-holes in addition to the first through-hole, the plurality of additional through-holes formed in the conductor pattern portion around the first through-hole of the board;

a fixing member inserted through the first through-hole from a side of the first face of the board; and

a conductive-film forming member in contact with the conductor pattern portion, part of the conductive-film forming member being introduced, from the second face of the board, partway into the additional through-holes.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the additional through-holes are entry channels for introducing part of the conductive-film forming member.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the conductive-film forming member is formed by cream solder supplied onto the conductor pattern portion and melted, and further wherein molten solder resulting from melting the cream solder is partway introduced to the additional through-holes and is covering a portion of the additional through-holes and the conductor pattern portion, thereby forming a solder film.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the solder film forms a joint which conductively joins a metal frame fixed by the fixing member inserted through the first through-hole.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising solder films on portions of the conductor pattern portion formed from molten solder flowing into the additional through-holes.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the conductor pattern portion on which the solder film is formed comprises a copper foil land.

7. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the conductor pattern portion on which the solder film is formed comprises a part of a ground pattern.
