In one form, a method of manufacturing a circuit device comprises providing a lead frame comprising a plurality of leads, each comprising an island portion, a bonding portion elevated from the island portion, a slope portion extending obliquely so as to connect the island portion and the bonding portion, and a lead portion extending from the bonding portion. First and second transistors and first and second diodes are mounted upper surfaces of island portions of respective first and second leads, and are connected to the respective leads through wirings that connect the transistors and diodes to the bonding portions of the respective leads. Lower surfaces of the island portions are attached to an upper surface of a circuit board, and the circuit board, the transistors, the diodes, and the lead frame are encapsulated by a resin, so that the lead portions are not covered by the resin.

Method of manufacturing a circuit device

In one form, a method of manufacturing a circuit device comprises providing a lead frame comprising a plurality of leads, each comprising an island portion, a bonding portion elevated from the island portion, a slope portion extending obliquely so as to connect the island portion and the bonding portion, and a lead portion extending from the bonding portion. The circuit elements are mounted on upper surfaces of the island portions, and are connected to corresponding bonding portions by wirings. Two leads are adapted to be connected to positive and negative sides of a power source, and another lead is an output lead for providing alternating-current power. Lower surfaces of the island portions are attached to an upper surface of a circuit board. The circuit board, the circuit elements, and the lead frame are encapsulated by a resin, so that the lead portions are not covered by the resin.

A circuit device comprises a circuit board and a plurality of leads each comprising an island portion, a bonding portion elevated from the island portion, and an oblique slope portion connecting the island portion and the bonding portion, and a plurality of circuit elements mounted on the island portions so as to be connected to corresponding bonding portions through wirings. Two leads are adapted to be connected to positive and negative electrodes of a direct-current power source, and yet another lead is an output lead adapted to output alternating-current power. One electrode provided on a transistor mounted on an island portion of the second input lead is connected to a bonding portion of the output lead through a wiring, and another electrode provided on a transistor mounted on an island portion of the output lead is connected to a bonding portion of the first input lead through a wiring.
