Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a thermal head in which a substrate has low breakability. [Solution] A thermal head X1 includes a substrate 7 having a first principal surface 7f and an end surface 7e adjacent to the first principal surface 7f; a plurality of heat generating parts 9 provided on the first principal surface 7f or on the end surface 7e; a plurality of electrodes provided on the first principal surface 7f and electrically connected to the plurality of heat generating parts 9; a first cover layer 27a provided on a part of the plurality of electrodes; a connector 31 disposed adjacent to the end surface 7e and having a plurality of connector pins 8 provided on the plurality of electrodes and also having a housing 10 accommodating the plurality of connector pins 8; and a cover member 12 covering the plurality of connector pins 8 provided on the plurality of electrodes together with the plurality of electrodes. The thermal head X1 further includes a second cover layer 27b extending from the first cover layer 27a to the end surface 7e. The housing 10 is in contact with the second cover layer 27b so that the possibility of breakage of the substrate 7 can be reduced.
