Abstract:
An electric component comprising:a circuit board formed with a through-hole via which a first connection conductor is inserted from a side of a rear surface of said circuit board and provided on a front surface thereof with a circuit pattern including a contact electrode formed in proximity to an opening of said through-hole; an insulating casing including a board receiving chamber formed on one surface thereof with an opening and a connection conductor introducing section formed on a wall thereof defining said board receiving chamber so as to introduce an end of a second connection conductor into said board receiving chamber from an outside; and a terminal fitment arranged between said circuit board arranged in said board receiving chamber of said insulating casing so as to keep said front surface of said circuit board facing an interior of said board receiving chamber and said wall of said board receiving chamber; said terminal fitment being integrally formed of a metal plate by machining; said terminal fitment including a first conductor holding section for interposedly holding an end of said first connection conductor fitted in a terminal fitment fit section formed at said wall of said insulating casing and inserted into said board receiving chamber through said through-hole, a second conductor holding section for interposedly holding said end of said second connection conductor inserted from said connection conductor introducing section into said board receiving chamber, and a contact terminal section including a contact portion positioned between said first conductor holding section and said contact electrode on said front surface of said circuit board and contacted with said contact electrode; said contact terminal section of said terminal fitment being constructed so as to exhibit elastic force sufficient to force said contact portion against said contact electrode while being arranged between said first conductor holding section and said contact electrode on said front surface of said circuit board.
