## Abstract

A mounting structure has a first board, an extended portion which is extended from the end portion of the first board and has a smaller thickness than the first board, and a second board having a connection terminal connected to a connector. The second board is placed on the extended portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mounting structure comprising:
a first board;
an extended portion extended from an end portion of the first board and having a smaller thickness than the first board; and
a second board having a connection terminal connected to a connector,
wherein the second board is connected to the extended portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mounting structure according to claim 1, wherein the second board covers at least one surface of the extended portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mounting structure according to claim 1, wherein the second board is a flexible board.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mounting structure according to claim 3, wherein:
the extended portion is formed by a reinforcing plate connected to the first board; and
the second board is connected to a terminal placed on a surface of the first board.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The mounting structure according to claim 3, wherein the second board covers both surfaces of the extended portion in a folded state.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The mounting structure according to claim 3, wherein:
the extended portion is formed by part of the first board; and
the second board is provided with a pin to be inserted inside the first board and, by inserting the pin inside the first board forming the extended portion, is connected to a wire formed inside the first board.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mounting structure according to claim 1, wherein the second board is a rigid board.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The mounting structure according to claim 7, wherein:
the extended portion is formed by part of the first board; and
the second board is provided with a pin to be inserted inside the first board and, by inserting the pin inside the first board forming the extended portion, is connected to a wire formed inside the first board.

### Claim 9

A structural component comprising:
a reinforcing plate having a smaller thickness than an outer board; and
a board having a connection terminal to be connected to a connector,
wherein the board is placed on the reinforcing plate.

### Claim 10

A method for manufacturing a mounting structure, the method comprising connecting a reinforcing plate having a smaller thickness than a first board to the first board and also connecting a terminal placed on a surface of the first board and a second board, thereby connecting the first board and the second board.
