Abstract
In a terminal connection device for a power supply circuit, a connecting lead member (4) has a straight bridge portion (4C) which includes a generally ring-like spin loop portion (5), and has an attachment terminal portion (4B) extending in a hook-shaped manner. The attachment terminal portion (4B) is inserted into a through hole (6) formed in a substrate (1) and fixedly connected by solder (7B) while the ring-like spin loop portion (5) is inserted into a corresponding slot (3) formed in the substrate (1) and securely held therein. The length (L) of the slot (3) is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter (D) of the spin loop portion (5) and the outermost of the spin loop portion comes into close contact with the inner side wall (3a) of the slot (3), and thus the finished terminal connection device can be made thin and small in size.
