Abstract
A press-fit terminal is made up of a wire material of predetermined length. At a first end of wire material of the press-fit terminal is formed a tip for insertion into a substrate, and at the other end is formed a connection portion for connection to a corresponding terminal. A press-fit portion for press-fitting into the substrate is formed at the tip side of the wire material of the press-fit terminal, and a shoulder portion is formed to the connecting portion side of the press-fit portion. By making use of the press-fit terminal, damage to the substrate and breakage of contacts can be minimized, consistent insertion force and retaining force can be attained.
