ABSTRACT:
A connecting terminal for establishing electrical connection between a conduction path on a circuit board and an external electric circuit comprises first, second, and third legs integrally formed on a plate-shaped body. The first and second legs are arranged on either side of the body in the crosswise direction of the body, and the third leg is located halfway between the first and second legs. The three terminal legs of the connecting terminal are inserted individually in separate through holes in the circuit board and soldered, whereby the connecting terminal is connected electrically and mechanically to the circuit board. An external force applied to the connection terminal is received by the three legs and one of first and second supporting portions protruding individually from two opposite major surfaces of the connecting terminal body in first and second edge regions, which corresponds to the acting direction of the external force.
