Abstract
A high-voltage variable resistor unit capable of firmly fixing a lead wire connection terminal formed by bending a linear conductor to a terminal fixture of an insulating casing. The terminal fixture is formed with a coupling section receiving recess for receiving a coupling section of the lead wire connection terminal therein in a manner to be in proximity to a terminal holder of a terminal fixing structure including a pair of holding elements. The coupling section of the lead wire connection terminal is pressedly fitted in the coupling section receiving recess and a held section of the terminal is interposedly held between the holding elements of the terminal holder. This effectively prevents rotation of the lead wire connection terminal about the held section, movement of the lead wire connection terminal in a longitudinal direction thereof or removal of the coupling section from the coupling section receiving recess with ease, when external force is applied to the lead wire connection section or held section of the lead wire connection terminal.
