PRESS-FIT TERMINAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a press-fit terminal capable of electrically detecting individual buckling irrespective of external appearance.SOLUTION: A press-fit terminal 20 (connector lead) is electrically connected to a target terminal 11 (through hole) to be connected. The press-fit terminal includes: a deformable portion 31 which first deforms by being brought into contact with the target terminal at a time of press-fitting; an energized portion 32 connected to the deformable portion in the press-fitting direction and in electrical contact with the target terminal; and a coating portion 33 covering the surface of the deformable portion in a film shape. The contact resistance between the coating portion and the target terminal has a resistance value larger than the contact resistance between the energized portion and the target terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】個別の座屈を、外観によらず電気的に検出することができる圧入端子を提供する。【解決手段】この圧入端子２０（コネクタリード）は、接続対象たる対象端子１１（スルーホール）に電気的に接続される。圧入端子は、圧入時において最初に対象端子に接触して変形する変形部３１と、圧入方向において変形部に連結され対象端子と電気的に接触する通電部３２と、変形部の表面を膜状に被覆する被膜部３３と、を備える。そして、被膜部と対象端子との接触抵抗は、通電部と対象端子との接触抵抗よりも抵抗値が大きい。【選択図】図２
