CLIP TERMINAL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clip terminal with excellent handling property which can surely prevent the short-circuit between metal pieces by keeping elasticity necessary for holding a circuit board even when metal pieces are arranged with high density. SOLUTION: For a clip terminal, a plurality of metal pieces 1 having a holding part 2 with approximately U-shaped cross section are arranged in vertical direction to the cross section with prescribed spaces between them, and each metal piece 1 is connected with the circuit board terminal by making the holding part 2 of metal pieces 1 electrically contact with a terminal of a circuit board, and mounting at one end of the circuit board detachably. A resin member 4 with a cross section of same as that of the metal piece 1, 1, having a flexural modulus of 1.0×104 to 5.0×104 kgf/cm2 is interposed between adjacent metal pieces 1, 1, and adhered to the metal pieces 1, 1.
