Printed circuit board and method of producing same
First Claim
1. A printed circuit board having an insulated substrate formed thereon with a circuit pattern for mounting thereon an electronic component, said printed circuit board comprising:
- a product board region for mounting said electronic component on said circuit pattern, a positioning region provided so as to be separable from said product board region, said positioning region used for positioning said product board region relative to said electronic component, and a separate given element for another use being separably formed in an unused region of said positioning region before said positioning and product board regions are separated.

Abstract
A printed circuit board has a product board region where electronic components are mounted. The printed circuit board further has a positioning region where an element contour representing a certain mechanism element, an insulated substrate or the like is formed by a perforation line, a V-cut line or the like so as to be separated from the other portion of the positioning region along the line for another use. Instead of the foregoing element contour, a small printed circuit pattern with or without a small electronic component may be separably formed in the positioning region.

4. A method of producing a printed circuit board having an insulated substrate formed thereon with a circuit pattern, a product board region for mounting an electronic component on said circuit pattern, and a positioning region separable from said product board region used for positioning said product board region relative to said electronic component, said method comprising the steps of:
-
separably forming a given element for another use in an unused region of said positioning region; and
separating said given element from the positioning region for said another use after completing the mounting of the electronic component in the product region. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
