Electronic component with soldering-less terminal structure

摘要

A high-voltage variable resistor capable of electrically connecting a connection electrode on a circuit board and a terminal fitment to each other without using any conductive rubber or soldering. A terminal fitment which is electrically connected to a connection electrode on a circuit board without soldering is arranged between a front surface of the circuit board and an inner surface of an insulating casing. The terminal fitment is provided with a connection conductor holding section including a plurality of edges biting into an end of a connection conductor inserted into the insulating casing via each of through-holes of the insulating casing when a force in a direction of drawing the connection conductor out of the connection conductor holding section is applied to the connection conductor. The terminal fitment is integrally provided with a contact terminal section exhibiting elasticity. The contact terminal section has a contact pressed against the connection electrode on the circuit board by elasticity of the contact terminal section.
