Conventional lead frames could neither be self-supporting nor be picked up by an automatic mounter through suction and mounted on a circuit board. Lead frame 15 is equipped with a plurality of leads 15d, each lead having a land-connection section 15c formed on one end of a pin-shaped terminal 15a with a bent section therebetween 15b; and a joining section 15e joining the plurality of leads 15d. The joining section 15e is formed by joining a base plate to the ends of land-connection sections 15c. This base plate makes the leads 15d stand upright and/or has a suction surface 15f which may be picked up by an automatic lead frame mounting device via suction.
