  • Publication number: 20020066584
    Abstract: An electric terminal of an electronic device includes an external electrode, a flexible lead member for connecting the external electrode to a pad of the electronic device, and a support member for surrounding the lead member and mechanically supporting the external electrode when the lead member is deformed by a heat stress applied to the external electrode. By separating the electric connection function from the supporting function in the electric terminal, a reliable connection can be achieved after a heat cycle test of the electronic device.
