Abstract:
A mounting structure for mounting a current detection resistor device comprising:a circuit board containing a pair of lands connecting to a respective electrode provided on each end of a resistor device; a circuit wiring for supplying a flow of current to be measured to a the resistor device connected between the pair of lands; and a voltage detection terminal wiring for detecting a voltage generated between ends of the resistor device, wherein the voltage detection terminal wiring is configured so as to extend from the lands along a current path of the resistor device first, and then, to bend at right angles to the current path, while maintaining electrical isolation from a resistor body of the resistor device; and wherein each of the pair of lands has a height and the voltage detection terminal wiring prior to the right angle bend is extended within a height range of each of the pair of lands and within a height range of the resistor device.
