Abstract:
A circuit assembly that can be made small and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. A circuit assembly includes a substrate provided with a wiring pattern on one side, and a conductive member fixed to the other side of the substrate, and if portions (terminal portions) that are to be connected to an external electrical element are formed in the conductive member, the conductive member overlaps with the substrate, but not at the portions (terminal portions). A configuration may also be adopted in which the entire conductive member overlaps with the substrate.

Claim (Index 4):
A method for manufacturing a circuit assembly, comprising:\n a conductive member connection step of fixing, to a substrate, a conductive member including a first conductor and a second conductor in a state in which the first conductor and the second conductor are separated from each other, the substrate being provided with a wiring pattern on one side of the substrate and being provided with an insulating layer on the other side, the conductive member being fixed to the other side of the substrate such that the conductive member overlaps with the substrate, but not at a portion that is to be connected to an external electrical element; wherein the other side of the substrate is provided with a terminal connection portion that is joined to the wiring pattern such that the terminal connection portion does not overlap with the conductive member, the method further comprising: a lead member connection step of connecting a lead member to the terminal connection portion on the other side of the substrate, the conductive member connection step and the lead member connection step being performed simultaneously; and an electronic component mounting step of mounting an electronic component having a plurality of terminals, electrically connecting a first terminal of the electronic component to the first conductor, electrically connecting a second terminal of the electronic component to the second conductor, and electrically connecting a third terminal of the electronic component to the wiring pattern formed on the substrate, and in the electronic component mounting step, the third terminal of the electronic component is connected to the lead member.
