A turbocharger includes a wastegate valve, an actuator for the wastegate valve, and a link mechanism linking the wastegate valve with the actuator via a specific rod. A plate is a component of the link mechanism and connects the wastegate valve with the rod or connects the rod with the actuator. The plate includes a body portion in a plate shape and a pin portion protruding from the main body portion. The pin portion is in a tubular shape having a hollow portion opened to its outside. The pin portion is engageable with an other component of the link mechanism on its outer periphery to form a rotation axis of the other component.
