An electromagnetic clutch includes an armature to be attracted to a rotor, an armature hub formed on one end portion of a rotating shaft, and a leaf spring which connects the armature to the armature hub and biases the armature away from the rotor. The leaf spring includes a base fixed to the armature hub, a stopper connected to the base, and a connecting piece surrounding the stopper by projecting outside from the base, and fixed to the armature. A through hole into which a rivet for fixing the base to the armature hub is inserted is formed in the base. A low-strength portion having strength lower than that in the periphery of the through hole is formed in a boundary portion between the base and a connecting portion.
