Abstract: A holder for a bottle excellent in handleability is provided. A holder of the present invention is a holder for holding, in an internal space, a bottle having a body part larger than a neck part below the neck part. The holder includes a bottom part; a top part having an opening smaller than a sectional size of the body part; and a grip portion extending in a height direction of the holder between the bottom part and the top part. A state of the holder is switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, a portion of the holder is detached and separated from another portion of the holder, and hence the internal space is opened. In the second state, the bottom part supports a bottom surface of the bottle in the internal space, the grip portion is positioned beside the bottle, and the neck part protrudes from the opening.

Abstract: A flange on first open end of a tubular contact member is soldered to a conductive plate of an insulating substrate. An external electrode terminal is fitted into a main body tube portion of the tubular contact member. The tubular contact member includes a protrusion that protrudes inwardly from an inner wall of the main body tube portion. The protrusion is disposed along the entire perimeter of inner wall toward the first open end. The protrusion has a thickness deformation of the protrusion by a load applied thereto when the external electrode terminal is pressed into the main body tube portion. The protrusion is disposed at a height that can block solder that climbs the inner wall of the main body tube portion, to form a gap between the protrusion and a lower end of the external electrode terminal inserted to a predetermined depth of the main body tube portion.
