Abstract:
A press-fit terminal held in a through hole provided in a board by being inserted into the through hole along an inserting direction includes a first contacting portion and a second contacting portion configured to resiliently contact an inner peripheral surface of the through hole. A value obtained by dividing a radius of curvature of the second contacting portion by a radius of curvature of the first contacting portion is 0.75 or smaller in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the inserting direction. By providing the first and second contacting portions adjacent between adjacent press-fit terminals, a contact part where a contact pressure applied to the inner peripheral surface is small and a contact part where a contact pressure applied to the inner peripheral surface is large are adjacent between adjacent through holes. Thus, it can be suppressed that damaged parts of the board approach between the adjacent through holes.
