Provided are a press-fit terminal and a connector whereby damage to the substrate and breakage of contacts can be minimized, and consistent insertion force and retaining force can be attained. The press-fit terminal (10) comprises a wire material (11) of predetermined length. At a first end of wire material (11) is formed a distal end part (12) for insertion into a substrate, and at the other end is formed a connecting part (13) for connection to a corresponding terminal. A press-fit part (14) for pressure fitting into the substrate is formed at the distal end part (12) side of the wire material (11), and a shoulder part (16) is formed to the connecting part (13) side from the press-fit part (14). |
