A pressure contact type connector includes: an upper flat plate portion; a lower flat plate portion which is disposed below the upper flat plate portion; a first spring portion which connects the upper and lower flat plate portions; and a second spring portion which extends upward from the lower flat plate portion and applies a resilient force to the upper flat plate portion, in which the first and second spring portions are wound about the upper flat plate portion when viewed from above in a plan view, and extend so that the spring portions do not interfere with each other when being compressed and extended in the vertical direction, the first spring portion is formed to be bent so that a width dimension is larger than a thickness dimension, and the second spring portion is formed to be bent so that a width dimension is larger than a thickness dimension.

A method for manufacturing a switch includes the steps of forming integrally a clip for clamping a movable contact out of a flat terminal member configured in hoop material by bending uprightly a projected portion of the terminal member, and then insert-molding the thus bent terminal member at the bottom of a box body made of insulating material to hold the integrally formed clip inside the box body.
