Patent ID: 8915760

Claim:
A surface mount clip comprising: a base part having a rear surface electrically connected to a conductor part of a printed wiring board; and an extension part extending from the base part, the extension part being configured to be brought into contact with a conductive member attached to the printed wiring board with elastic deformation of the extension part to hold the conductive member and make an electrical connection to the conductive member, wherein: the base part includes a solder-bonding part having a bonding plane to be bonded with the printed wiring board and a floating part spaced from the bonding plane so as to form a floating part gap between the floating part and the printed wiring board, once the surface mount clip is solder-bonded to the printed wiring board; the extension part includes a root part extending from the floating part toward the rear surface of the base part and a folded-back part extending from an end of the root part toward a front surface of the base part; and a lowermost portion of the extension part being spaced from the printed wiring board by an extension part gap, and the extension part gap being smaller than the floating part gap.
