Patent ID: 7090502

Claim:
A board connecting component, comprising: a plurality of lead terminals made of a conductive material having spring elasticity; and an insulative housing with a polygonal frame-like shape that buries a part of the lead terminal and fixedly retains the plurality of lead terminals in an arrangement having been set in advance, wherein the lead terminal includes: a buried part that is a part of the lead terminal buried in the housing; a bottom end joint that is extended from one end of the buried part, is exposed through a bottom end surface of the housing, and is extracted in width direction of the bottom end surface; and a flexibly changing part that is exposed from an other end of the buried part through one wall surface orthogonal to the bottom end surface, and is extended along the wall surface to a top end surface facing to the bottom end surface, being spaced from the wall surface and the top end surfaced wherein a region along said top end surface of said housing forms a top end joint in said flexibly changing part, and wherein said top end joint is a flat plane.
