Abstract:
A terminal connection device for a power supply circuit comprising a connecting lead member of a substantially constant diameter attached to a substrate having a circuit pattern layer provided thereon,said connecting lead member having a bridge portion which is disposed on a surface of the substrate, and having a ring-like spin loop portion of a predetermined outer diameter formed at an intermediate portion of the bridge portion, and having an attachment terminal portion extending from the bridge portion in a hook-shaped manner,wherein said attachment terminal portion extends through a hole formed at a corresponding location in the substrate and is fixedly connected by solder to the circuit pattern layer on the substrate, andwherein said ring-like spin loop portion extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bridge portion, said ring-like spin loop portion extending into a slot formed at a corresponding location in the substrate and being securely held in said slot, said predetermined outer diameter of said ring-like spin loop portion having a size such that a majority of said loop is contained within a thickness of said substrate.
