Abstract:
1. A relay terminal member configured to relay a circuit board and a connector to each other, and to place the circuit board and the connector in conduction, comprising: a plurality of relay terminals, each of which has a body section which is in the form of plate, and in which an opening is formed so as to penetrate the body section; and a terminal section which is integrally formed with the body section, and which is connected to the circuit board; and a covering section made of insulating material, including an opening groove through which the terminal sections of the relay terminals are exposed, and covering the body sections of the relay terminals, wherein the covering section includes a plurality of holes which are formed so as to penetrate the covering section in positions corresponding to the openings of the relay terminals; and the opening of the relay terminal is configured so that, by inserting a terminal pin of the connector to the opening, a part of the body section around the opening is deformed toward an inner wall side of the hole of the covering section, and the deformed part of the body section around the opening contacts the terminal pin of the connector.
