<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diode which can maintain a rigid solder joint even if it is used under an environment of intense temperature variation in a terminal box for solar cell panel installed outdoors, for example. <P>SOLUTION: In the diode having a lead leg being soldered to a terminal board, a portion for absorbing an expansion/contraction force of the terminal board in the plane direction is formed at least a part of the lead leg. The force absorbing portion of the lead leg has a curved portion of U-shape, S-shape or a combination thereof and the curved portion is directed in the direction substantially perpendicular to the plane direction of the terminal board. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
