Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic component includes a circuit element, a circuit board that is connected to the circuit element, and a connection terminal that is connected to the circuit board. The connection terminal includes a main body, a spring member that is formed so as to be elastically deformable in two directions including a direction of moving closer to the circuit board disposed on the main body and a direction of moving away from the circuit board, and a pair of arm portions that is extended from the main body so as to position the spring member therebetween. The pair of arm portions passes through the circuit board, ends of the respective arm portions far from the main body are bent toward the spring member, and the circuit board is held between the ends and the spring member.
