Abstract
Abstract A printed board capable of permitting the passage of at least two wiring patterns between two adjacent mounting lands on the surface of the printed board even if a clearance between the adjacent mounting lands is limited. Mounted on the printed board is an electrical component having a plurality of leads extending in a parallel relation with each other with limited clearances formed between adjacent leads. The printed board has a plurality of mounting lands to which the respective leads of the electrical component are secured as by soldering, there being a limited clearance defined between adjacent ones of the lands such that only one wiring pattern printed on the printed board can run through the clearance in the direction parallel to that in which the leads extend. The adjacent two lands have two facing parallel sides which are disposed in parallel with each other at an angle relative to the direction in which the leads extend, so that at least two wiring patterns, printed on the surface of the printed board, can run through the clearance between the facing sides of the adjacent lands in a parallel relation therewith.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
262 words
A printed board having mounted thereon an electrical component having a plurality of leads which extend in a parallel relation with each other with limited clearances present between adjacent leads and having the component oriented thereon such that the leads extend in a direction parallel to an imaginary line on said board; said printed board having a plurality of mounting lands provided on the surface of said printed board and to which the leads of the electrical component are soldered, said lands being disposed within imaginary rectangular areas on said board with long and short sides, the long sides being in contact with edges of the lands, the areas being disposed in a row such that the long side of each one of the areas face and are parallel to a long side of an adjacent one of the areas and are parallel to the imaginary line on said board, there being a limited first clearance between adjacent ones of said areas, each of said lands having at least one side arranged in a substantially parallel and facing relation with respect to at least one side of an adjacent one of said lands and at an acute angle relative to the imaginary line providing a limited second clearance between the side of the one of said lands and the side of the adjacent one of said lands which is greater than the first clearance; and at least two wiring patterns printed on the surface of said printed board and running through the second clearance between the facing sides of said adjacent lands.
