Provided is a press-fit terminal configured to secure a warp of press-contact portions and reduce insertion force required to insert the press-contact portion into the through hole, without increasing the number of components and manufacturing costs. In a press-fit terminal one end portion of a Rod-Shaped Metal Member (“RSMM”) is provided with press-contact portions configured to be press-fitted into a through hole of a printed board and electrically connected to a conductor, and the other end portion of the rod-shaped metal member includes a connection portion configured to be connected to a partner member, the one end portion of the RSMM has: squashed portions; and the press-contact portions that protrude outward from the squashed portions, and each press-contact portion is configured to deform in a circumferential direction of the RSMM due to contact pressure applied when the press-contact portions are pressed against the through hole.
A press-fit terminal in which one end portion of a rod-shaped metal member is provided with press-contact portions that are to be press-fitted into a through hole of a printed board and electrically connected to a conductor on an inner surface of the through hole, and the other end portion of the rod-shaped metal member is provided with a connection portion that is to be connected to a partner member,
