  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, in the present embodiment, the installation position where the electronic component 50 is installed can be specified on the board main body 40 in order to prevent the electronic component 50 from being erroneously installed. Various information on the electronic component 50, such as information, is shown. In addition, in this embodiment, although various information in the board main body 40 is shown by performing silk printing, it is not limited to this, for example, by performing engraving by laser or printing of ink. May be shown.

Next, various kinds of electronic components 50 installed on the board main body 40 and various kinds of information shown on the board main body 40 will be described using a specific example.
As shown in FIG. 4, a socket 51 having transparency is mounted on the board body 40. The main control CPU 30a is mounted on the socket 51. The main control CPU 30 a is mounted on the socket 51 so as to be conductive with the board main body 40.

  A semicircular recess 37 is formed at one end 36 of the main control CPU 30a. A notch 39 is formed in a corner 38 on one end 36 side of the main control CPU 30a. Similarly to the main control CPU 30a, a semicircular concave portion 51b is also formed at one end 51a of the socket 51, and a notch 51d is also formed at a corner 51c on the one end 51a side of the socket 51. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, a substantially rectangular silk print 61 is provided on the board body 40 along the outer edge of the socket 51 to be mounted. In particular, the silk printing 61 is printing in which a mode (a semicircular shape inside a rectangular shape) showing a semicircular concave portion is applied to one end 61a of the silk printing 61. As described above, the silk printing 61 indicates that the socket 51 is mounted on the substrate main body 40 such that the one end 51a of the socket 51 in which the concave portion 51b is formed is on the one end 61a side of the silk printing 61. The silk print 61 indicates that the main control CPU 30a is mounted on the socket 51 such that the one end 36 side of the main control CPU 30a in which the concave portion 37 is formed is the one end 61a side of the silk print 61.

  The silk print 61 is a print in which a corner 61b on one end 61a side of the silk print 61 is provided with a notch (a hatched portion of the corner 61b). As described above, the silk printing 61 indicates that the socket 51 is mounted on the substrate body 40 such that the corner 51c of the socket 51 in which the notch 51d is formed is on the corner 61b side of the silk printing 61. The silk print 61 indicates that the main control CPU 30a is mounted on the socket 51 such that the corner 38 of the main control CPU 30a in which the notch 39 is formed is on the corner 61b side of the silk print 61. .

Like the silk print 61, the silk print 62 is also a print in which a mode (a rectangular inner semicircle) showing a semicircular concave portion is applied to one end 62a of the silk print 62. The silk print 62 is a print in which a notch is formed in a corner 62b on one end 62a side of the silk print 62 (a hatched portion of the corner 62b).

  The silk print 61 has substantially the same size as the outer edge of the socket 51 and is provided along the outer edge of the socket 51. Therefore, when the socket 51 is mounted on the board main body 40 and the main control CPU 30a is mounted on the socket 51, the silk print 61 becomes difficult to visually recognize. On the other hand, the silk print 62 is given in a size larger than the outer edge of the socket 51. For this reason, the silk print 62 is provided at a position where it is easily visible, and is visible even when the main control CPU 30a is mounted on the socket 51 mounted on the substrate main body 40.
