ABSTRACT:
An electric component with a soldering-less terminal fitment capable of preventing a contact portion of the terminal fitment from being detached from an electrode on a surface of a circuit board due to slippage thereof on the circuit board. A terminal fitment arranged between a circuit board and an insulating casing includes a connection conductor holding section and a contact terminal section having a proximal portion formed integrally with the connection conductor holding section. The contact terminal section includes a contact portion, which is pressedly contacted with an electrode on the circuit board by elasticity. The contact terminal section includes a curved portion which is curved in a manner to be projected in a direction of insertion of a connection conductor through the terminal fitment and provided on a distal end thereof with the contact portion. The contact portion is constituted by a biting element. The biting element is so inclined that a distal end thereof is positioned on a projected side of the curved portion as compared with a proximal portion thereof.
