Conventional lead frames could neither be self-supporting nor be picked up by an automatic mounter through suction and mounted on a circuit board. Lead frameis equipped with a plurality of leads, each lead having a land-connection sectionformed on one end of a pin-shaped terminalwith a bent section therebetween; and a joining sectionjoining the plurality of leads. The joining sectionis formed by joining a base plate to the ends of land-connection sections. This base plate makes the leadsstand upright and/or has a suction surfacewhich may be picked up by an automatic lead frame mounting device via suction.
