ABSTRACT:
A ground terminal capable of being downsized and having good electrical connectability with a chassis. The ground terminal includes a ground terminal body formed into an annular shape as viewed in plan, and at least one connection portion formed integrally with the ground terminal body, the connection portion being bendable and extending from an inner circumference of the ground terminal body toward the center of the ground terminal. When a mounting screw used to mount a printed board mounted with the ground terminal to a chassis is inserted into the annular ground terminal body and a mounting hole of the printed board, the connection portion of the ground terminal is bent in the mounting hole to be brought in contact with the chassis.
