Patent number: 10448505Abstract: A wiring board includes recesses recessed to an inside of the wiring board, in a plan view, in portions connecting a far end surface to side surfaces, and an outer peripheral electroconductive layer disposed over a surface extending from the far end surface to the recesses. To electrically connect an electroconductive member to the outer peripheral electroconductive layer of the wiring board by, for example, joining such as soldering, the electroconductive member can be disposed in the recesses to be connected to the outer peripheral electroconductive layer. This structure prevents the electroconductive member from excessively protruding outward from the surface of the wiring board. Thus, a device having the wiring board installed therein can be made compact.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazushige Akita
