Printed circuit board with resist coating defining reference marks
First Claim
1. A printed circuit board, comprising:
- a first land, partially coated with a resist which defines an uncoated area, for mounting a first device thereon, the first land being formed of a conductor;
a second land, not coated with the resist, for mounting a second device thereon, the second land being formed of the conductor;
a first mark, formed by said resist, for use in mounting the first device on the uncoated area of the first land;
a second mark, formed of said conductor, for use in mounting the second device on the second land;
a first device mounted a first distance from the first mark on a center of the uncoated area of the first land; and
a second device mounted a second distance from the second mark on a center of the second land.

Abstract
A printed circuit board includes a first mark 2 formed by a thin conductor, a second mark 3 formed by a resist 8, a land 6 which is partially coated by the resist 8 and a land 7 which is not coated by the resist 8. The second mark 3 is formed when the land 6 is partially coated by the resist 8. A device 4, which corresponds to the land 6, is mounted at a position apart from a center O2 of the second mark 3 by a predetermined distance L1. A device 5, which corresponds to the land 7, is mounted at a position apart from a center O1 of the first mark 2 by a predetermined distance L2. Therefor, the devices 4, 5 can be properly mounted on the printed circuit board 1 in spite of a positional error of the resist 8.

9. A printed circuit board for facilitating device placement thereon, comprising:
-
at least one first land, partially coated with a resist, for mounting a first device thereon, the first land being formed of a conductor;
at least one second land, not coated with the resist, for mounting a second device thereon, the second land being formed of the conductor;
a first reference mark, formed of the resist, defining a first reference position used in mounting the first device on the first land; and
a second reference mark, formed of the conductor, defining a second reference position used in mounting the second device on the second land. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
a first device mounted a first distance from the first reference position on a center of an uncoated area of the first land; and

15. A printed circuit board for facilitating device placement thereon, comprising:
-
a mounting means for receiving a device, the mounting means being partially covered with a resist, the resist defining a mounting area on the mounting means;
a reference means for defining a reference position which remains a constant distance from a center of the mounting area when the resist and the mounting area are shifted, the reference position being used in mounting the device on the mounting area; and
a device mounted on the center of the mounting area. - View Dependent Claims (16)
