Abstract
Herein disclosed a connector for electrically connecting an integrated circuit having a plurality of IC terminals with an electronic circuit having a plurality of electronic pads each corresponding to each of the IC terminals of the integrated circuit. The connector comprises an insulating elastic sheet having first and second surfaces and formed with a plurality of through bores at the positions corresponding to the IC terminals of the integrated circuit and a plurality of conductive portions to be respectively received in the through bores of the insulating elastic sheet. Each of the conductive portions comprises first and second conductive pressing plates respectively disposed on the first and second surfaces of the insulating elastic sheet to cover each of the through bores of the insulating elastic sheet; a lead member positioned in each of the through bores of the insulating elastic sheet to have its both ends respectively connected with the first and second conductive pressing plates; and first and second conductive terminals having their one ends connected to the first and second conductive pressing plates to have their other ends face to each of the IC terminals of the integrated circuit and the electronic pads of the electronic circuit, respectively. The lead member of each of the conductive portions is formed with a twisted bundle of a plurality of fine leads each being fine enough to bend in accordance with the elastic movement of the insulating elastic sheet and to cause rotation of the conductive terminal.
