Abstract

A mount assembly includes a member in which a mount component is mounted at least on one main face of the member and at which a member connecting electrode is formed; and a connection member that has a pillar-shaped parallel portion arranged so that a longitudinal direction of the parallel portion is parallel to the main face of the member, one end side of the parallel portion being connected to the member connecting electrode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a mount assembly comprising:
forming a first member connecting electrode on a first portion of a main face of a member to which one or more mount components are mounted;
forming a second member connecting electrode on a second portion of the main face of the member to oppose the first member connecting electrode across a cutting line for subsequently dividing the member into the first and second portions;
arranging a connection member having first and second pillar-shaped portions and a parallel portion, each of the first and second pillar-shaped portions having a first end connecting to a respective one of the first and second connecting electrodes and a second end extending from the respective first and second connecting electrodes, the parallel portion being parallel to the main face of the member to connect the free ends of the first and second pillar-shaped portions to each other, thereby connecting the first and second member connecting electrodes to each other; and
dividing the member and the parallel portion by cutting at the cutting line to separate the member into the first and second portions.

2. The method for manufacturing a mount assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising providing support portions to support each of the pillar-shaped portions at the first ends.

3. The method for manufacturing a mount assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to the arranging and prior to the dividing, arranging a reinforcing member at least at the vicinity of a connection between the second end of each pillar-shaped portion and the parallel portion.

4. The method for manufacturing a mount assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second pillar-shaped portions and the parallel portion are integrally formed in a U-shaped connection member.
