Abstract:
1. An electronic component comprising: a terminal holding unit which holds a plurality of terminals; a metallic shell which houses the terminal holding unit inside thereof, the metallic shell including an insulation opening where a connection object which connects with the terminals is inserted; and contact terminals which are adjacent to the metallic shell, each of the contact terminals including a contact plane which faces an insertion direction of the connection object into the metallic shell, wherein: a plate-like leg for fixing the metallic shell to a substrate is formed at each of side surfaces of the metallic shell, the plate-like leg extends outward from each of the side surfaces of the metallic shell, the plate-like leg includes an extended end section having a soldering surface shape including a base section that extends along an extending direction, an orthogonal extending section that extends from a side edge of the base section along the insertion direction of the insertion opening being orthogonal to the base section, and the orthogonal extending section in a soldering surface of the plate-like leg extends from the base section toward an upstream side in the insertion direction of the insertion opening.
