Abstract
In a structure for attaching a circuit board terminal to a circuit board, stress is minimized in a soldered portion on a circuit section upon inserting and drawing an electrical element into and from the circuit board. The attaching structure including a holding member mounted on and secured to a circuit board, a bus bar that has a base portion supported on the holding member and a leg portion that passes one or more through-holes and to be soldered on a circuit section, and a circuit board terminal that has a base portion to be connected to the bus bar and a connection portion adapted to be coupled to a terminal of an electrical element. The bus bar is provided on the base portion with elastic tongue pieces that can contact elastically with a circuit board terminal. The circuit board terminal is connected through the bus bar to the circuit section.
