Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide high corrosion resistance, prevent corrosion due to moisture, enable electric power and signals to be constantly supplied from an external circuit and enable normal printing, by covering an exposed part of conductor leads of a thermal head with nickel. CONSTITUTION:In the thermal head, each of the conductor leads 2 comprises a good electrical conductor other than nickel and gold, such as aluminum, copper, silver and tin, the surface of which is covered by a highly corrosion- resistant nickel layer 6. The leads 2 beneath the nickel layer 6 will not be corroded under the synergistic effect of an electric current and moisture, and normal printing can be conducted. The nickel layer 6 is provided by plating, printing, vapor deposition, immersion, sputtering or the like. The conductor leads 2 and the nickel layer 6 may be provided on a side surface and the back side of a heating substrate 1.

In the conventional thermal head configured as described above, a power signal etc. is degenerated from an external circuit (not shown) to the conductor lead (2) not covered with the anti-oxidation layer (5), and the body lead (
2) The heat-generating resistor (3) constructed in between generates heat and prints on thermal paper or transfer paper (not shown) held between the platen (not shown). [Problems with] Conventional thermal heads have conductor leads (2) as described above.
Because it is made of good electrical conductors other than nickel and gold, such as aluminum, copper, silver, and tin, it corrodes due to the synergistic effect of current and humidity in the actual environment, and what was initially a good electrical conductor is destroyed. It gradually became a poor conductor and could no longer be printed by a thermal head.6.

In the thermal head of the present invention constructed as described above, the conductor lead (2) is made of a highly corrosion-resistant nickel layer (6) on the surface of a good electrical conductor other than nickel or gold, such as aluminum, copper, silver, or tin. Because it is covered, the nickel layer (6) will not be corroded due to the synergistic effect of current and humidity under the actual environmental conditions, so the lower conductor lead (2) will not be corroded either, so a normal mark can be obtained. There are no words that can cause a serious defect such as not being able to take pictures.
