Abstract
A radial lead type electronic component includes a couple of plate-type lead terminals projecting from a protective resin member in the same direction. These lead terminals are provided with inclined edges, which make the body portions gradually narrowed toward leg portions, in leg-side edges of body portions. Among inclined edges, inclinations .theta..sub.1 of the outer ones with respect to the leg-projecting direction are greater than inclinations .theta..sub.2 of the inner ones with respect to the same direction. Thus, the electronic component is relieved from stresses which are applied thereto upon insertion in a printed circuit board or a cut-and-clinch operation.
Claims10
An electronic component, comprising:
- an element;
- a protective resin member sealing the periphery of said element;
- a couple of plate-type lead terminals projecting from said protective resin member in the same direction and having head portions connected to said element, elongated leg portions, and body portions being wider than said leg portions, provided between said head portions and leg portions and positioned at sealing lines of said protective resin member;
- wherein said body portions on leg-side ends are provided with outer and inner inclined edges which make said body portions gradually narrowed toward said leg portions, such that inclinations .theta..sub.1 of said outer inclined edges with respect to a leg-projecting direction are greater than inclinations .theta..sub.2 of said inner inclined edges with respect to the same direction, and lowest ends of said outer inclined edges are at the same level as those of said inner inclined edges.
An electronic component, comprising:
- an element;
- a protective resin member sealing the periphery of said elements;
- a couple of plate-type lead terminals projecting from said protective resin member in the same direction and having head portions connected to said element, elongated leg portions, and body portions being disposed between said head portions;
- sand and said leg portions and positioned at sealing lines of said protective resin member;
- wherein said body portion have outer inclined edges and inner inclined edges tapering gradually toward said leg portions, and lowermost ends of said outer inclined edges are closer to said leg portions than lowermost ends of said inner inclined edges.
