Patent ID: 8729403

Claim:
An electronic apparatus comprising: first and second terminals projecting from a circuit board and lying adjacent to each other with an interspace formed between the first and second terminals; and a projecting member projecting along a neighboring terminal which is one of the first and second terminals at such a position that the neighboring terminal is located between the projecting member and the interspace, the projecting member being located at an adjacent position adjacent to the neighboring terminal, to attract molten solder from the interspace toward the projecting member during soldering to join the first and second terminals to the circuit board, and the projecting member being connected with the neighboring terminal by a solidified solder body formed by the molten solder attracted toward the projecting member, the solidified solder body having a larger solder body portion adhered to the projecting member having a greater solder attractant surface area in comparison to a smaller solder body portion adhered to the neighboring terminal having a smaller solder attractant surface area.
