Abstract
An electrical connecting member is provided with a holding member made of an electric insulating material and a plurality of conductive members held by the holding member in a state of being insulated with each other. One end of each of the conductive members is exposed on one surface of the holding member and the other end of each of the conductive members is exposed on the other surface of the holding member. The conductive members have portions exposed from the holding member, the length of which is longer than the thickness of the holding member. These exposed portions are easily deformed by the pressure force exerted at the time of connecting electric circuit components to reduce the coupling load even when there is irregularity in the heights thereof or unevenness in the junctions of the objects connection, hence enabling high density connections between the electric circuit components. The exposed portions can also be formed to have empty holes 1B, to be porous or, in the alternative, annealed to soften the exposed portions.
