Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the module small-sized and give the generality to the module, by forming plural terminals on the module used in an electric translating machine or the like and bringing these terminals into surface contact with plural external contacts through conductive rubber in transmission holes. CONSTITUTION:An LIS element 41 is protected by the first package 40 consisting of plastic materials, and a network of a ROM or the like is constituted with elements 41 and is used in an electronic translating machine. This element 41 is provided with plural terminals 42, and these terminals 42 are arranged to face transmission holes 45 formed with the package 40 and the second package 43. These plural terminals 42 are brought into surface contact with plural external contacts 46 of the translating machine main body arranged oppositely through conductive rubber 44. Thus, the wiring substrate of the module used in an information processing device is unnecessary, and the number of constituting parts of the module is reduced, and the module is made small-sized and thin to improve the workability.
