Method and apparatus for molding module electronic devices and a module electronic device molded thereby

Abstract

In a method for molding module electronic devices, an outer edge portion (') of each of plural terminals () arranged on a base board () is subjected to press-deformation processing by a curved portion (R) of an upper mold () to be shaped into a curved outer end portion () when the upper mold () is caused to be in contact with a lower mold () for forming a molding space between the upper and lower molds () in which the base board () is positioned, then the molding space is filled with dissolved resin under a condition in which the curved portion (R) of the upper mold () is in tight contact with the curved outer end portion () of each of plural terminals (), and finally the upper and lower molds () are separated from each other after the dissolved resin () in the molding space has solidified so that a module electronic device provided with the base board () on which the plural terminals () each having the curved outer end portion () and a resin-molded portion () which covers the base board () with the terminals () exposed to the outside is obtained.
