<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost by omitting a plating step after forming of a terminal for a printed circuit board, one end of the terminal being inserted into a through hole to contact with an inner surface of the through hole. <P>SOLUTION: The terminal is formed with a sheet of metal plate plated on its surface. An end of the terminal to be inserted into the through hole 14 is branched into two sections, the sections respectively being formed into a gutter shape, constituting a pair of elastic sections 32 facing each other with a grooved inside surface. The pair of elastic sections 32 are bent as bow legs, peaks 34 of the bent portion contacting with the inner surface of the through hole 14. Tips of the pair of elastic sections 32 are open before the insertion into the through hole 14 and close after the insertion into the through hole 14, exhibiting a strong resilience. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
