A board connection terminal () is connected to a circuit board that detects a current having flowed through a resistor element (). The board connection terminal () includes an intermediate part () and two connecting parts () integrated with one another. The intermediate part () has a substantially linear shape, and is connected to a shunt resistor (). The two connecting parts () have proximal ends thereof located at opposite ends of the intermediate part (), and protrude in a direction substantially perpendicular to the intermediate part (), to be connected to the circuit board. The two connecting parts () are arranged substantially in parallel to each other. The board connection terminal () comprises two board connection terminals () that are arranged with the resistor element () sandwiched therebetween. Contact resistance between the intermediate part () and the shunt resistor () is lower than conductor resistance of the intermediate part ().
