Abstract:
A printed circuit board with a reinforcing pattern. The printed circuit board includes lands formed in a wiring pattern at positions corresponding to formation positions of external connection electrode terminals, a pattern protective film having openings which are opened at the formation positions of the lands; wherein the diameter of each of the openings of the pattern protective film is set to be larger than the outside diameter of each of the lands, and a reinforcing pattern extends outwardly from the outer peripheral edge of each of the lands and the extension end of the reinforcing pattern is covered with the pattern protective film, thereby preventing occurrence of cracks in solder balls formed on the lands and enhancing the shear strength of the solder balls.
