Patent ID: 7288725

Claim:
A wired circuit board comprising: an insulating base layer, a plurality of conductive wires formed on the insulating base layer, an insulating cover layer formed on the insulating base layer to cover the conductive wires, and an electronic component mounting portion for an electronic component to be mounted, the electronic component mounting portion being formed by removing a portion of the insulating cover layer, a groove formed in the insulating cover layer along a perimeter of the electronic component mounting portion, the groove being formed to intersect with the plurality of conductive wires that are positioned along the perimeter of the electronic component mounting portion, and protrusions formed along the groove at intersection areas with the plurality of conductive wires that are positioned along the perimeter of the electronic component mounting portion, the protrusions being formed to extend in a lengthwise direction of the conductive wires, an electronic component placing area provided in the electronic component mounting portion to receive the electronic component, and terminals that are located within the electronic component placing area and are formed to extend continuously with corresponding ones of the plurality of conductive wires, the terminals being adapted to electrically connect with the electronic component.
