Abstract
A metal terminal includes a central portion having a cross section with a relatively large internal diameter and an approximately circular shape and cylindrical portions having a relatively a smaller diameter are extended from both sides of the central portion. The approximately circular shape portion is inserted into a through hole of a through hole type capacitor and disposed in contact with and elastically pressing against the inner wall of the through hole.

An electronic component comprising:
- a through-hole type capacitor having a through-hole, ferrite beads including a through hole and being disposed at both ends of the capacitor, and conductive caps which are attached to the ferrite beads;
- and
- a metal terminal comprising a substantially circular portion defining a substantially continuous circular cross section and protruding at a central portion thereof, and a substantially cylindrical portion extending from said substantially circular portion in the axial direction and having a smaller diameter than that of the substantially circular portion;
- wherein said substantially circular portion of said metal terminal is arranged such that no portion of said substantially circular portion overlaps or wraps around any other portion of said substantially circular portion and is disposed in the through hole of the capacitor so as to contact and elastically press against the inner wall of the through hole.
