Claim:
1. A card-edge terminal type electronics unit comprising: a circuit board on which a plurality of circuit components are mounted, the circuit board including a plurality of copper foil trace terminals provided on at least one surface of a top and bottom surfaces of an edge of a first side or a second side in parallel with the first side of the circuit board, the copper foil trace terminals being pressed by a copper-based resilient contact, wherein the circuit board and the plurality of circuit components are integrally molded with a sealing resin that is a thermosetting resin excepting a board edge area in which the copper foil trace terminals are provided, wherein a cylindrical intermediate adapter has one opening bonded and fixed to a sealed end face part that is included in a board area close to the board edge area and is a part of the sealing resin and has an other opening that surrounds the board edge area, wherein a receptacle body of a connector housing is inserted into the other opening, the connector housing including the resilient contact press-fitted and fixed to the connector housing and connected to a lead wire for external connection, which causes the resilient contact to be in electrical contact with the copper foil trace terminals, wherein the connector housing and the intermediate adapter are each formed of a thermoplastic resin, and a set of insertable and withdrawable retaining attachment mechanism is provided to one and the other of the connector housing and the intermediate adapter, wherein the connector housing further includes a positioning projection press-fitted and fixed to the connector housing, the positioning projection being fitted into a notched groove provided in the end face of the circuit board, and wherein the intermediate adapter is bonded to the sealed end face part of the sealing resin with an adhesive material that is an elastic adhesive material having an adhesive viscosity enough to prevent peeling caused by thermal deformation due to difference in linear expansion coefficient between the intermediate adapter and the sealing resin.
