ABSTRACT:
A terminal has a plurality of split solder portions inserted into through-holes in a printed circuit board. A first split solder portion has a cross-sectional shape such that four corners thereof contact an inner circumferential surface of the through hole for positioning, while a second split solder portion has a cross-sectional shape such that the portion is loosely inserted into the through hole without contacting an inner circumferential surface thereof. The plurality of split solder portions of the terminal are inserted into through holes having substantially equal diameters. The four corners of the first split solder portion contact the inner circumferential surface of the through hole for positioning and holding. The second split solder portion does not contact the inner circumferential surface of the through hole. The through holes are filled with solder to fix the split solder portions therein.
