ようにしている。(Prior Art) As is well known, a thermal print head device of this type includes a heating portion provided on a surface of a ceramic substrate, a head including leads extending from the heating portion, and a flexible printed wiring board (hereinafter, simply referred to as a head). FP wiring board) and. Then, by connecting the lead of the head to the lead of the FP wiring board, the lead is led to the outside.

リード８とを備えている。FIG. 4 shows a general head of this type, 1 is a substrate made of ceramic or the like, 2 is a heat generating portion provided on the surface thereof,
In the figure, as an example, one having six heat generating parts is shown. Reference numeral 3 is an individual lead connected to one end of each heat generating portion 2, and 4 is a unified common lead commonly connected to each of the other ends. Reference numeral 5 denotes an FP wiring board, which has an individual lead 7 connected to each of the individual leads 3 and an integrated common lead 8 connected to the integrated common lead 4 on one surface of a resin base 6. .
実際にはヘッド１上のリードとFP配線板５上のリードと
は互いに重ね合せてから、半田によって接続されるのが
一般的である。そのためにFP配線板５にはヘッド１の表
面と向い合う面、すなわち図では裏側の面に各リード7,
8が現れるようにし、これをそのままヘッド１の表面に
重ね合わすようにしている。In practice, the leads on the head 1 and the leads on the FP wiring board 5 are generally superposed on each other and then connected by soldering. Therefore, the FP wiring board 5 has the leads 7, 7 on the surface facing the surface of the head 1, that is, the back surface in the figure.
8 is made to appear, and this is directly laminated on the surface of the head 1.
ところでこのような構成は発熱部２の列がヘッド１のほ

に前記したような統一共通リードを設置することができ
ないようになる。By the way, in such a structure, the row of the heat generating portions 2 is installed at a position apart from the center or the end of the head 1 to some extent, and there is a space in which the unified common lead 4 can be installed on one side of the row. Can be made only when is present. However, depending on the type of the head, it may be required to install the heat generating portion close to one side edge of the head. In such a case, the space between one side of the row of heat generating portions and the side edge of the head becomes too narrow, and it becomes impossible to install the unified common lead as described above.
これを解決しようとしたのが第５図に示す構成である。
これは各発熱部の２箇を１群としその各群に属する２個
の発熱部2A,2Bの一方の端部を短絡導体９によって短絡
しておき、またひとつの群のひとつの発熱部2Aと、これ
に隣接する他の群に属する他のひとつの発熱部2Bとに共
通する共通リード10を設けたものである。The structure shown in FIG. 5 is intended to solve this problem.
This is because two heat generating parts are set as one group and one end of two heat generating parts 2A and 2B belonging to each group is short-circuited by a short-circuit conductor 9 and one heat generating part 2A of one group is also formed. And a common lead 10 that is common to the other heat generating portion 2B belonging to another group adjacent thereto.
これによれば発熱部の列の一方の側とヘッドの側縁との
間には、幅が狭くてよい短絡導体９を設置するだけの空

い。なおこの構成ではひとつの個別リードとこれに隣合
う共通リードとの間に電圧を印加すれば、両リード間に
ある２箇の発熱部が同時に発熱するようになっている。According to this, a space for installing the short-circuit conductor 9, which may have a small width, may be secured between one side of the row of heat generating parts and the side edge of the head. It is convenient because it can be installed as close as possible to the side edge of the. In this configuration, if a voltage is applied between one individual lead and the common lead adjacent to the individual lead, the two heat generating portions between both leads generate heat at the same time.
しかしこのような構成のヘッドに連なるFP配線板のリー
ドは、ヘッドのリードパターンと合致させなければなら

続される他の回路との接続作業が極めて煩雑とならざる
を得ない。However, the leads of the FP wiring board connected to the head having such a structure must be matched with the lead pattern of the head. Therefore, the common leads of the FP wiring board are scattered between the individual leads, and not all are integrated as shown in FIG. Therefore, the connection work with other circuits connected to this FP wiring board must be extremely complicated.
（発明が解決しようとする問題点） この発明は発熱部の列をヘッドの側縁に接近して設置し
ても、FP配線板では全ての共通リードを統一して一括す

に接続したことを特徴とする。(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, a connecting lead is provided across the individual leads of the head so as to be insulated from the individual leads, and the head is further juxtaposed to the ends of the individual leads. A unified common lead is provided, and the connection lead and each common lead, and the connection lead and the unified common lead are connected by wire bonding, while the FP wiring board is connected to each of the individual lead of the head and the unified common lead. The individual common leads and the common common leads are provided on at least one side of the group, and the FP wiring board is stacked on the head to connect the individual common leads and the common common leads to each other.

Individual lead 3 of FP wiring board 5 and individual lead 7 of FP wiring board 5
The leads are overlapped with each other, and the overlapped leads are connected with solder or the like.
このようにすれば、ヘッド１の表面において個別リード
