The electronic-component-mounting board according to the present invention
includes: a high-heat-dissipation substrate including a metal plate and a
circuit pattern formed on a upper surface of the metal plate; an
electronic component which is mounted on the high-heat-dissipation
substrate and is electrically connected to the circuit pattern; and one
external connection terminal which is disposed on the
high-heat-dissipation substrate and provides electrical connection
between the electronic-component-mounting board and an external device.
The external-connection terminal is formed of a material having a thermal
conductivity less than that of the metal plate and has at least one
external electrode to which a lead wire is soldered. Therefore, the lead
wire can be connected by soldering even on the high-heat-dissipation
substrate. Accordingly, the reliability of the electrical connection is
improved, and reduction in size and thickness of the
electronic-component-mounting board can be achieved. In addition, the
cost of the electronic-component-mounting board can be reduced.
