Patent ID: 8773863

Claim:
A terminal mounting construction, comprising; a housing configured to accommodate a substrate and including a locking portion; a heat-generating element contact portion in contact with a power transistor for dissipating heat; a terminal configured to connect the substrate accommodated in the housing to an electric wire, wherein the terminal includes: a conductive portion configured to be connected to a pattern on the substrate; a substrate connecting terminal portion configured to hold the substrate together with the conductive portion in a state where the substrate is inserted between the conductive portion and the substrate connecting terminal portion; a wire connecting portion configured to be connected to the electric wire from an opposite direction to an inserting direction in which the substrate is inserted between the conductive portion and the substrate connecting terminal portion; and a locked portion configured to be locked in the locking portion, and wherein the housing includes an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the substrate connecting terminal portion so as to receive an end face of the substrate connecting terminal portion which faces to follow the opposite direction.
