Circuit module, light emitting module, and automotive lamp

A light emitting module comprising:

• a semiconductor light emitting element;
• a lighting control circuit configured to control lighting of the semiconductor light emitting element;
• a first heat radiating member on which the lighting control circuit is mounted;
• a second heat radiating member that is separated from the first heat radiating member by virtue of being spaced apart from the first heat radiating member and has a mounting surface on which the semiconductor light emitting element is mounted;
• and
• a connecting mechanism having both a connecting portion that connects the first heat radiating member and the second heat radiating member together and a conductive portion that transmits a signal from the lighting control circuit to the semiconductor light emitting element,
• wherein the connecting portion is formed of a resin material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity lower than those of the first heat radiating member and the second heat radiating member such that the first heat radiating member is thermally separated from the second heat radiating member whereby increases in temperature of the control circuit or the semiconductor light emitting element can be suppressed.
