A terminal 1 is equipped with elastic legs 3a, 3b having ridges on the feet 19a, 19b thereof, and is equipped with two elastic arms 5a, 5b extending to either side of legs 3a, 3b at an angle somewhat less than perpendicular with respect thereto. Upon insertion of terminal 1 into terminal insertion hole 17 on board 9, legs 3a, 3b become constricted and the tips of arms 5a, 5b come in contact with wiring lands 15. Upon complete insertion of terminal 1 in board 9, elasticity causes the two constricted legs 3a, 3b to become splayed outward, the ridges of feet 19a, 19b catching on the rim of terminal insertion hole 17. Furthermore, the arms 5a, 5b, being bent upward, an elastic force therefrom acts so as to cause the ridges of legs 3a, 3b to press against board 9, securing terminal 1 tightly to board 9. Following complete insertion of terminal 1 in board 9, by squeezing together feet 19a, 19b of legs 3a, 3b and causing constriction of legs 3a, 3b, it is possible to cause the ridges of feet 19a, 19b to no longer catch on the rim of terminal insertion hole 17 as was described above, making it possible to remove terminal 1 from board 9.
