A connector device that includes a circuit board; a connector attached to the circuit board; and a molded resin that covers the entire circuit board and part of the connector, wherein: a housing of the connector contains a resin material and fibrous inorganic fillers, a groove is formed in a region of a surface of the housing that is covered with the molded resin, the groove being formed by removing the resin material with the inorganic fillers remaining, and extending in a direction that intersects a mounting direction in which a counterpart connector is to be mounted to the connector, the groove has a depth and a width in a range from 50 &#x3bc;m to 150 &#x3bc;m inclusive, and the groove is filled with the molded resin.

Connector device

A connector device that includes a circuit board; a connector attached to the circuit board; a plurality of collars for external attachment; a first molded resin that is made of a first resin material whose melting point or softening point is 230&#xb0; C. or less, and covers the entire circuit board and part of the connector; and a second molded resin that is welded to the first molded resin, is made of a second resin material whose melting point or softening point is higher than that of the first resin material for the first molded resin, and covers outer circumferences of the collars.

Provided are a circuit assembly in which it is possible to eliminate or reduce a level difference between a mounting surface of a substrate and portions to which terminals that are electrically connected to a conductive member are connected, and that can be easily produced, and a method for manufacturing the same. A circuit assembly includes a substrate provided with openings and an electronic component mounted on one side of the substrate, a conductive member that is a plate-shaped member fixed to another side of the substrate, the conductive member constituting a conductive path, and a relay member that is fixed to a surface on the substrate side of the conductive member and made of an electrically conductive material, the relay member being accommodated in the openings formed in the substrate, at least one terminal of the electronic component being connected to the relay member.
