Abstract

A base member that is a molded part on which pattern wiring is directly formed, includes a projection projecting from a base surface of the base member. The pattern wiring is laid over a top of the projection, and protrusions are molded on both sides of an area at the top of the projection where the pattern wiring passes.

Claims (45)

1 . A base member that is a molded part on which pattern wiring is directly formed, the base member comprising

a projection projecting from a base surface of the base member,

wherein the pattern wiring is laid over a top of the projection, and

wherein protrusions are molded on both sides of an area at the top of the projection where the pattern wiring passes,

wherein the pattern wiring is a trace group including a plurality of traces, and

wherein protrusions are molded between all adjoining ones of the traces of the trace group.

2 . The base member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pattern wiring is a trace group including a plurality of traces, and

wherein a protrusion is molded between one and at least another adjoining one of the traces of the trace group.

3 . The base member according to claim 1 , wherein an opposed surface of the projection is a wall surface for an electronic part to be mounted on.

4 . The base member according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is a parting line.

5 . An electronic device comprising the base member according to claim 1 .

6 . A base member that is a molded part on which pattern wiring is directly formed, the base member comprising

a projection projecting from a base surface of the base member,

wherein the pattern wiring is laid over a top of the projection,

wherein protrusions are molded on both sides of an area at the top of the projection where the pattern wiring passes, and

wherein opposed surfaces of adjoining ones of the protrusions are provided with pattern wiring electrically connected to the pattern wiring adjoining the protrusions.

7 . The base member according to claim 6 , wherein a distance between the opposed surface of one of the adjoining protrusions and the opposed surface of the other opposed to the opposed surface of the one protrusion increases in a projecting direction of the projection.

8 . The base member according to claim 6 ,

wherein the pattern wiring is a trace group including a plurality of traces, and

wherein a protrusion is molded between one and at least another adjoining one of the traces of the trace group.

9 . The base member according to claim 6 , wherein an opposed surface of the projection is a wall surface for an electronic part to be mounted on.

10 . The base member according to claim 6 , wherein the projection is a parting line.

11 . An electronic device comprising the base member according to claim 6 .

12 . A structure, comprising:

a first wiring part including a first base member that is a molded part and on which pattern wiring is directly formed; and

a second wiring part including a second base member that is a molded part and on which pattern wiring is directly formed,

the first and second wiring parts which are electrically connected,

wherein a recess is molded in the first wiring part,

wherein a projection having a shape corresponding to the recess is molded on the second wiring part,

wherein a first electrode is directly formed on a bottom surface of the recess by the pattern wiring, and a second electrode is directly formed on a top surface of the projection by the pattern wiring, and

wherein electrical connection is established by the first and second electrodes contacting each other,

wherein the first wiring part includes a latching portion,

wherein the second wiring part includes a portion to be latched,

wherein the first and second wiring parts are mechanically fixed to each other by the latching portion latching with the portion to be latched, and

wherein electrical connection is established by pattern wiring formed on the latching portion and pattern wiring formed on the portion to be latched contacting each other.

13 . The structure according to claim 12 , wherein the pattern wiring formed on the latching portion and the pattern wiring formed on the portion to be latched are electrically connected to a reference potential or a power supply.

14 . The structure according to claim 12 ,

wherein pattern wiring is formed on a side surface of the recess,

wherein a third electrode of protruding shape is directly formed on a side surface of the protrusion by the pattern wiring, and

wherein electrical connection is established by the pattern wiring formed on the side surface of the recess and the third electrode contacting each other.

15 . The structure according to claim 14 , wherein pattern wiring formed on the side surface of the recess to surround the first electrode is electrically connected to a reference potential.

16 . The structure according to claim 14 , wherein the third electrode has a protruding shape.

17 . The structure according to claim 12 , wherein at least either one of the first and second electrodes has a protruding shape.

18 . An electronic device comprising the structure according to claim 12 .
