DISCHARGE LAMP LIGHTING APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A discharge lamp lighting apparatus includes a housing that is formed by a box-shaped housing main body, which has therein a first circuit including both a first connection connector that protrudes toward an opening and a first electronic part group, and a discharge lamp bulb attached to the outside of the housing main body. A housing cover has a heat dissipating metal body on a back surface of a substrate having mounted thereon both a second connection connector that protrudes at a position corresponding to the first connection connector and a second electronic part group having lower heat resistance than the first electronic part group, and that is attached to the opening. The second connection connector is mounted to the first connector when the housing cover is attached to the housing main body.
