Abstract

A printed circuit board, including: a substrate on which a component is mounted by solder; and a contact plate having a soldered portion soldered on the substrate, the contact plate being configured to be brought into contact with a contact of an apparatus to which the substrate is to be attached, wherein the soldered portion is soldered on a surface of the substrate opposite to a surface of the substrate on which the component is mounted, and wherein the contact plate has a suppressing portion configured to suppress an adhesion of a flux of the solder to a portion in which the contact plate is to be contacted by the contact, the suppressing portion making a flow path of the flux from the soldered portion to the portion longer than a straight-line distance from the soldered portion to the portion.
