Electronic component, terminal structure for electronic component, and electronic device

Abstract

This electronic component, terminal structure for an electronic component, and electronic device prevent the occurrence of environmental impact by not using solder, reduce assembly costs, and make it possible to lighten the load on an electrical connection section. One embodiment of the present invention is an electronic component comprising an electronic component body and a conductive terminal, wherein the terminal is a leaf spring having elasticity, a central section of the leaf spring in the lengthwise direction has a supported section supported so as to be sandwiched by both groove walls of a groove provided to the electronic component body, and at least one end of the two ends of the leaf spring in the lengthwise direction is in contact in an elastically deformed state with a printed circuit board.
