A printed wiring board includes a support plate, a laminate formed on the support plate and including first conductor pads on a first surface side of the laminate and second conductor pads on a second surface side of the laminate, and a solder resist layer interposed between the support plate and the laminate and having openings formed such that the openings are exposing the first conductor pads respectively. The laminate includes a resin insulating layer and has a first surface on the first surface side and a second surface on the second surface side on the opposite side with respect to the first surface of the laminate, the second conductor pads are embedded in the second surface of the laminate such that the second conductor pads have surfaces recessed from the second surface of the laminate respectively.
