Abstract
A copper foil pattern is formed such that mountain portions and valley portions thereof are continuous to be substantially orthogonal to a forward direction of a printed circuit board at the time of solder immersion, and a non-copper foil pattern portion free of a copper foil is provided to be opposed to this copper foil pattern, whereby a peak of the mountain portion is cooled quickly. Thus, a temperature gradient is generated, and a heat is transferred at the time of solder immersion. With this heat transfer, outgases are guided to the peak of the mountain portion, and the guided outgases are easily discharged from a non-copper foil pattern portion in the vicinity of this peak.
Claims12
An electronic apparatus including a printed circuit board which forms an electric circuit by soldering electronic parts in accordance with a molten solder immersion technique, wherein
- the printed circuit board consists of a paper-substrate phenol resin copper-clad laminate,
- a copper foil pattern whose mountain portions and valley portions are continuous is formed and allocated in predetermined location on the printed circuit board so as to be substantially orthogonal to a forward direction at the time of solder immersion thereof, and
- a non-copper foil pattern portion is provided to be opposed to the copper foil pattern.
