Abstract
A high-voltage variable resistor includes a circuit section contained in an insulating casing, a snap-in terminal inserted in a terminal base portion of the casing and connected to an output portion of the circuit section, and an output connecting electrode inserted in the terminal base portion from a direction orthogonal to the snap-in terminal and press-fitted in and connected to the snap-in terminal. The terminal base portion of the casing has an insertion groove for guiding and inserting the snap-in terminal, an insertion hole for guiding and inserting the output connecting electrode, and a relief groove formed on a side face of the insertion groove intersecting the insertion hole. The insertion groove, the insertion hole, and the relief groove are simultaneously formed by a metal mold of the structure to be pierced.
