Terminal and connection structure using terminal

摘要

A terminal includes a body portion formed in a major arc cylindrical shape in which a gap is formed between two edges in the circumferential direction or an overlapping cylindrical shape in which the two edges in the circumferential direction overlap each other, such that a cylindrical space is formed inside the body portion, and locking portions disposed on at least one side out of the back side and the front side in the insertion direction of the body portion and having base pieces that extend from the body portion toward the back side in the insertion direction or the front side in the insertion direction and locking pieces that are provided on the base pieces. The body portion has at least one projecting portion projecting toward the outside. A connection structure includes the terminal, a connected object and a mounting member. It is possible to cause the terminal to which the connected object is attached to stand on its own relative to the mounting member, and to ensure the thickness of a solder layer between the terminal with the connected object and a through hole.

主权项

1. A terminal comprising:
a body portion having conductivity and elasticity, and being formed in a major arc cylindrical shape in which a central angle is greater than 180 degrees and a gap is formed between two edges in a circumferential direction or an overlapping cylindrical shape in which two edges in the circumferential direction overlap each other, as viewed from an insertion direction, such that a cylindrical space whose generating line extends in the insertion direction is formed inside the body portion; and a locking portion being disposed on at least one side out of a back side and a front side in the insertion direction of the body portion, and having a base piece that extends from the body portion toward the back side in the insertion direction or the front side in the insertion direction and a locking piece that is provided on the base piece, wherein the body portion has at least one projecting portion projecting toward an outside.
