Abstract:
There is a problem that an oxide film or high resistance abrasion powder is formed at the contact interface due to micro sliding abrasion in a high temperature environment or temperature cycle to increase the contact resistance at the contact portion of a non-noble metal connection terminal. Provided is an in-vehicle electronic module, a connector, and a connection structure thereof, which have the same connection reliability as noble metals even when exposed to a harsh environment and can reduce cost of members. The in-vehicle electronic module includes a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted, and a protection member accommodating the circuit board and protecting the circuit board from a surrounding environment and has a structure where a surface layer at an end portion of the circuit board is made of an 1 Ag-containing Sn-based solder having average thickness of  4  μm or more, and a surface material of a connection terminal of one card edge connector has a two layer structure of a soft noble metal layer of Ag, Pd, Pt, or the like/a reaction layer of a hard noble metal and Sn or an Ni layer.

Claim (Index 4):
An in-vehicle electronic module comprising:\n a circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted; and a protection member accommodating the circuit board, wherein the circuit board has an end portion of the board protruding into an external space from the protection member, the end portion of the board has a connection terminal on a surface thereof for being inserted into an external female connector to obtain electrical conduction, the connection terminal has a structure where a first metal layer made of a metal selected from a group including Ag, Pd, and Pt, and a second metal layer made of a metal selected from a group including Ag, Pd, Pt, and Au and Sn are formed on an outermost surface of a Cu wire line made of a Cu alloy, the first metal layer formed on an outermost surface of a contact portion, the second metal layer formed as an underlying layer.
