Abstract

A pressure contact terminal includes a component clip configured to clip an electronic component and be electrically connected with the electronic component, a pressure contact blade to be connected with a wire by pressure contact, and a step connection configured to connect the component clip and the pressure contact blade to each other at different bottom face heights. The step connection of the pressure contact terminal may prevent displacement of the pressure contact blade from being transmitted to the component clip.

Claims (20)

1. A pressure contact terminal comprising:

a component clip configured to clip an electronic component and be electrically connected with the electronic component;

a pressure contact blade to be connected with a wire by pressure contact;

a step connection configured to connect the component clip and the pressure contact blade to each other at different bottom face heights;

a first bent portion connecting the step connection and the component clip to each other at a first bending angle; and

a second bent portion connecting the step connection and the pressure contact blade to each other at a second bending angle.

2. The pressure contact terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the component clip is arranged on a first arrangement face of a housing, and

the pressure contact blade is arranged on a second arrangement face of the housing having a height different from a height of the first arrangement face.

3. The pressure contact terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component is a substrate.

4. A pressure contact terminal comprising:

a component clip configured to clip an electronic component and be electrically connected with the electronic component;

a pressure contact blade to be connected with a wire by pressure contact; and

a step connection configured to connect the component clip and the pressure contact blade to each other at different bottom face heights, wherein

the component clip has a first press-fit claw to be press-fitted into a housing, and

the pressure contact blade has a second press-fit claw to be press-fitted into the housing.

5. The pressure contact terminal according to claim 4 , wherein

the component clip is arranged on a first arrangement face of the housing, and

the pressure contact blade is arranged on a second arrangement face of the housing having a height different from a height of the first arrangement face.

6. The pressure contact terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the electronic component is a substrate.
