Claim 1
Independent Claim 111 words
An electronic device comprising: a resin molded body having side wall parts, a flat plate part, and one or more through holes formed in the flat plate part; a heat discharging member made of a metal embedded in said resin molded body in a state where a part of the heat discharging member is exposed to said through hole; and a printed wiring board on which an electronic part is mounted and which is attached to the flat plate part of said resin molded body, wherein said electronic part mounted on said printed wiring board is inserted into said through hole and is come into contact with said heat discharging member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 111 words
An electronic device comprising: a resin molded body having side wall parts, a flat plate part, and one or more through holes formed in the flat plate part; a heat discharging member made of a metal embedded in said resin molded body in a state where a part of the heat discharging member is exposed to said through hole; and a printed wiring board on which an electronic part is mounted and which is attached to the flat plate part of said resin molded body, wherein said electronic part mounted on said printed wiring board is inserted into said through hole and is come into contact with said heat discharging member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said heat discharging member has a lattice part embedded in the flat plate part of said resin molded body and leg parts which are formed by bending ends of the lattice part and are embedded in the side wall parts of said resin molded body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
