Abstract:
A substrate mount type terminal to be mounted on a substrate in which an attachment hole is formed, comprising:a terminal main body portion at which a coupling portion capable of being coupled to a coupled terminal in a fitting manner is formed at one end thereof and an attachment base portion capable of being inserted into said attachment hole is formed at the other end thereof, the coupling portion and the attachment base portion being sized for insertion through the attachment hole in an insertion direction such that the attachment base portion is located adjacent the substrate and the coupling portion projects from a surface of the substrate; a projection portion formed to protrude outward from the insertion direction at an end portion of said terminal main body portion adjacent said attachment base portion; an engagement portion formed to protrude outward from the insertion direction at a side portion of said attachment base portion and spaced from said projection portion toward said coupling portion by a distance enabling said substrate to be sandwiched between said projection portion and said engagement portion; and said engagement portion is elastically deformable upon insertion through the attachment hole.
