Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electronic part, including: cutting a wiring substrate, which contains a base substrate, a wiring pattern provided on a first surface of the base substrate, and a reinforcing member provided on a second surface of the base substrate, along a line intersecting with an outer circumference of the reinforcing member; wherein a wire, out of a plurality of wires composing the wiring pattern, arranged closest to an intersecting point of the outer circumference of the reinforcing member and the line has a widest width.

Claims

1. A method for manufacturing an electronic part, comprising:

cutting a wiring substrate along a line intersecting with an outer circumference of a reinforcing member, the wiring substrate including a base substrate, a wiring pattern provided on a first surface of the base substrate, and the reinforcing member provided on a second surface of the base substrate;

wherein a wire, out of a plurality of wires composing the wiring pattern, arranged closest to an intersecting point of the outer circumference of the reinforcing member and the line has a widest width.

2. The method for manufacturing the electronic part according to claim 1, wherein a distance from the intersecting point to the wiring pattern is greater than a total thickness of the base substrate and the reinforcing member.

3. The method for manufacturing the electronic part according to claim 1, wherein the process of cutting the wiring substrate includes pressing a region surrounded by sides of the reinforcing member intersecting with the lines and the lines from a side of the second surface.
