Abstract

Abstract A molded circuit board formed by molding a resin substrate to one side of a circuit film made by forming a desired circuit pattern to an insulating film in a manner to form an integral body. In the circuit film, there are provided soldering pad regions for mounting surface-mounting parts in a surface of the circuit film opposite the other surface in contact with resin substrate and through-holes at locations of the circuit film where insert-mounting parts are mounted. In the resin substrate, holes for receiving insert-mounting parts are formed in the molding process at the locations corresponding to the through-holes of the circuit film.
