ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a connection terminal of a semiconductor device having a circuit in a case. The connection terminal of the semiconductor device according to the present invention has a construction in which a male terminal includes a plurality of terminal pieces separated from each other by a slit, and the terminal pieces are individually electrically connected to parts of the circuit. When a characteristic evaluation test is carried out with regard to the circuit, the parts of the circuit can be individually evaluated by touching the terminal pieces with test terminals such as probes. Additionally, in a practical use of the semiconductor device, one female terminal can short-circuit the plurality of the terminal pieces. Accordingly, the number of the terminals can be reduced to accomplish a compact device.
