The solder forms solder fillets located around the pair of connection portions and extending along the mounting surface. A first fillet width of one solder fillet among the solder fillets located in an inside region between the pair of connection portions is larger than a second fillet width of another solder among the solder fillets located in an outside region of one of the pair of connection portions, which is on a side opposite to the inside region across the one of the pair of connection portions.
