Abstract

In a circuit board, when lands provided on a rear surface of a substrate are each separated into a mainland and a sub-land, warping or other defects of the substrate can be ignored when soldering, and the substrate can be mounted with a high bonding strength. On the rear surface of a module substrate, partitions are each provided to separate a metal film into the mainland and the sub-land. Accordingly, when the substrate is mounted on a motherboard, solder applied beforehand from each end-surface electrode to the mainland can be largely protruded downward from the mainland, and warping or other defects of the substrate can be ignored by this protruding portion of the solder. In addition, in the state in which the substrate is mounted, since the solder is pushed out from between the mainland and the motherboard and overflows the partition, both the mainland and the sub-land can be soldered to the motherboard side, and hence stable bonding can be obtained at a large bonding area.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method for mounting a circuit board device on a motherboard, the circuit board device including a substrate having a front surface on which an electronic component is mounted, a rear surface to be mounted on the motherboard, and end surfaces, end-surface electrodes which are provided on the end surfaces and to which the electronic component is connected, lands which are provided on the rear surface and are connected to the end-surface electrodes and which are to be soldered to the motherboard together with the end-surface electrodes, the lands each including a mainland connected to each of the end-surface electrodes and a sub-land disposed at a distance therefrom, and partitions each provided on the rear surface side for separating the mainland from the sub-land, the method comprising the steps of:

preparing solder;
forming protruding portions which are composed of the solder covering the mainlands and which protrude from the rear surfaces by melting the solder in order to flow on the end-surface electrodes toward the mainlands;
placing the circuit board device on the motherboard in the state in which the protruding portions face respective wire patterns of the motherboard;
melting the solder so as to adhere to the wire patterns;
and
allowing the solder present at the mainland sides to flow over the partitions and into the respective sub-land sides, whereby the mainlands and the respective sub-lands are connected to the respective wire patterns of the motherboard.
