Abstract:
An electronic component board is made by attaching bus bars to an insulating plate, and by electrically connecting electronic components to the bus bars. In the electronic component board, heat radiating portions integrally formed with specific bus bars are provided along an outer periphery of the insulating plate. A width of a portion extended parallel to the outer periphery of the insulating plate of the heat radiating portion is constant. The electronic component board 1 is produced by die-cutting a metal plate in a lump into the bus bars and a band-shaped connecting portion connected to the bus bars, having a constant width, and positioned at an outer edge of the metal plate, by attaching the bus bars to the insulating board, and by cutting and removing the connecting portion while leaving a part of the connecting portion uncut which is used as the heat radiating portion.
