Patent ID: 8839509

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an electronic apparatus, which has a high-voltage side electric conductor and a low-voltage side electric conductor, wherein the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors are arranged in parallel to each other and at least portions of the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors are sealed by sealing material, comprising: a first step for preparing a sheet of a conductive plate for forming the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors; a second step for punching out the conductive plate, to thereby form the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors as well as connecting portions, in such a manner that a side end of the high-voltage side electric conductor and a side end of the low-voltage side electric conductor are opposing to each other in an opposing direction so as to form a predetermined initial gap between the respective side ends of the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors, and that the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors are connected to each other via the connecting portions; a third step for deforming a portion of the connecting portion and/or deforming a portion of the high-voltage side or the low-voltage side electric conductor, so as to reduce the initial gap to a smaller gap; a fourth step for sealing the portions of the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors by the sealing material; and a fifth step for cutting away the connecting portions after the fourth step, so that the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side electric conductors are separated from each other.
