Abstract
Provided is an electrical contactor that is formed from a small number of components that can improve the conductivity in the electrical contactor, while improving the slidability of an elastic member and the electrical contact stability with a contact target. The present disclosure provides an electrical contactor which is formed from a plate-shaped member, the plate-shaped member including: a main body; an upper arm portion; a first tip end portion provided at a tip end of the upper arm portion; a lower arm portion; and a second tip end portion provided at a tip end of the lower arm portion, the electrical contactor including: a first contact portion formed by winding the first tip end portion; a first elastic portion formed by winding the upper arm portion and having a bamboo-shoot-like spring structure; a second contact portion formed by winding the second tip end portion; a second elastic portion formed by winding the lower arm portion and having a bamboo-shoot-like spring structure; and a coupling portion that couples the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion to enable elasticity of each of the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion by winding the main body, in which each or either of a tip end surface of the first contact portion that contacts the first contact target and a tip end surface of the second contact portion that contacts the second contact target is an inclined surface.
