Abstract
A method of making a thermal printhead including a primary substrate and an auxiliary substrate adjacent to the primary substrate. The method comprises the following steps. First, at least one positioning cutout is formed in either one or both of the primary and auxiliary substrates. The positioning cutout is formed at an edge of the selected substrate. Then, the primary and auxiliary substrates are positioned to each other by using a position-adjusting device provided with an upright pin fitted into the positioning cutout. Then, the electrical connection is established between the first and the second substrates via clip pins.
