Abstract

The size of an electronic component is made reducible so as to match a downsized connection object. The electronic component includes a first pin terminals, a second pin terminals, and an external connection case having a retention wall for retaining the first pin terminals and the second pin terminals. The first pin terminals and the second pin terminals have connector-connection portions and external connection portions, respectively. Clearances between adjacent connector-connection portions are made larger than corresponding clearances between adjacent external connection portions.

Claims

1. An electronic component comprising:

a first terminal to be inserted into a first connection chamber formed in a connection housing of a connector;

a second terminal to be inserted into a second connection chamber formed in the connection housing; and

a retention housing having a retention wall for retaining the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein

the first terminal and the second terminal have respective connector-connection portions that extend from one side of the retention wall toward the connector and also have respective external connection portions that extend from the other side of the retention wall, and

the first terminal and the second terminal are configured such that a clearance between the connector-connection portions being adjacent to each other is larger than a clearance between the external connection portions being adjacent to each other.

2. The electronic component according to claim 1, wherein

at least one of the first terminal and the second terminal has a bent portion that causes the clearance between the connector-connection portions to be larger than the clearance between the external connection portions.

3. The electronic component according to claim 2, wherein

the bent portion is bent so as to cause the first terminal and the second terminal to be spaced from each other in an arrangement direction of the first terminal and the second terminal.

4. The electronic component according to claim 2 or 3, wherein

a plurality of the first terminals and a plurality of the second terminals are respectively disposed in parallel rows, and

bent portions of adjacent first terminals are bent so as to cause the adjacent first terminals to be spaced from each other in a row-wise direction of the first terminals, and bent portions of adjacent second terminals are bent so as to cause the adjacent second terminals to be spaced from each other in a row-wise direction of the second terminals.

5. The electronic component according to claim 2, wherein

a plurality of the first terminals and a plurality of the second terminals are respectively disposed in parallel rows, and

the bent portions of the first terminals and the bent portions of the second terminals are respectively bent so as to cause the first terminals and the second terminals to be spaced from each other in the arrangement direction of the first terminals and the second terminals and also to be spaced from each other in corresponding row-wise directions of the first terminals and the second terminals.

6. The electronic component according to claim 2, wherein

the retention wall include an embedment portion in which each bent portion is buried.

7. The electronic component according to claim 1, further comprising

a movable connector that serves as the connector, wherein

the movable connector has

a stationary housing,

a movable housing serving as the connection housing, and

terminals that displaceably support the movable housing with respect to the stationary housing.
