A press-fit terminal includes a bar part and a deformation part provided at an end portion of the bar part. The deformation part includes a recess, a front boundary portion and a rear boundary portion. The recess is provided between a front end portion of the deformation part and the end portion of the bar part. The front boundary portion defines a boundary between the recess and a surface of the deformation part adjacent to the front end portion of the deformation part. The rear boundary portion defines a boundary between the recess and the surface of the deformation part adjacent to the end portion of the bar part.
