NOVELTY - The protective circuit module comprises a printed circuit board (110), an integrated circuit chip mounted on the printed circuit board, a passive device such as a resistor (125) or a capacitor electrically connected to the integrated circuit chip, and an encapsulant. The encapsulant encapsulates the integrated circuit chip and a respective first part of the passive device, and does not encapsulate a respective second part of the passive device. The passive device comprises a first terminal, a body, and a second terminal.    USE - The protective circuit module is useful for controlling an electrical state of a secondary battery (claimed) such as a lithium ion secondary battery or lithium polymer secondary battery that is useful as a power source in a portable electronic device such as a smart phone, a cellular phone, a notebook computer or an electronic tool.    ADVANTAGE - The compact protective circuit module protects the high energy density secondary battery from over-charge, over-discharge or over-current and deterioration in performance, and simply and economically mounts the components on the board.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The protective circuit module comprises a printed circuit board (110), an integrated circuit chip mounted on the printed circuit board, a passive device such as a resistor (125) or a capacitor electrically connected to the integrated circuit chip, and an encapsulant. The encapsulant encapsulates the integrated circuit chip and a respective first part of the passive device, and does not encapsulate a respective second part of the passive device. The passive device comprises a first terminal, a body, and a second terminal. The first part of the passive device comprises the first terminal and a first portion of the body, and the second part of the passive device comprises the second terminal and a second portion of the body. The first terminal and the first portion of the body have a surface exposed to an outside of the encapsulant. The first terminal is connected to the integrated circuit chip via a conductive wire and electrically connected to the printed circuit board via a wiring pattern (112) located between the encapsulant and a surface of the printed circuit board, and is mounted on the printed circuit board. The second terminal is mounted on the printed circuit board, and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board via a wiring pattern located on a surface portion of the printed circuit board that is not overlapped by the encapsulant. The encapsulant encapsulating integrated circuit chip is integral with the encapsulant encapsulating the passive device. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a battery.
