1. An ink jet head circuit board having a heater for generating thermal energy to be used for ejecting ink in response to application of electricity, the ink jet head comprising:
an electrode wire layer including a first gap;
a resistor layer disposed as an upper layer of the electrode wire layer inclusive of the first gap;
a first protective layer disposed as an upper layer of the resistor layer; and
a second protective layer including a second gap, disposed as an upper layer of the first protective layer,
wherein a portion of the resistor layer corresponding to the first gap becomes the heater, the second protective layer is not formed on the heater, the second protective layer is positioned on the first gap, and the second gap is wider than the first gap.
