Claim:
1. A terminal module for electrically connecting an electric element mounted on a first board to a second board opposing to the first board, a through-hole being opened in the second board, the terminal module comprising: an electrically conductive terminal including at each of opposite ends thereof: a connection part through which the terminal module is electrically connected to the electric element; and a contact part to be inserted into the through-hole; and an electrically insulative base holding a part of the electrically conductive terminal to keep the electrically conductive terminal in a constant posture, wherein the terminal module is mounted onto the first board keeping fixed thereto, the electrically conductive terminal further includes a flexible part located adjacent to the contact part, the flexible part being more elastically deformable than other portions of the electrically conductive terminal, the flexible part includes: a first flexible piece extending in a length-wise direction of the electrically conductive terminal; and a second flexible piece spaced away from the first flexible piece through a through-hole, the second flexible piece extending in parallel with the first flexible piece, the first and second flexible pieces being equal in length to each other.
