Abstract
A contact capable of achieving the reduction of height in the direction of displacement, and of obtaining excellent contact pressure. A contact comprises substantially a belt-like elastic contact member having a terminal at one end and a contact part at the other end and substantially a belt-like elastic protection member having a fixing part at one end and a protecting part at the other end and an accommodation hole provided in the protection member between the fixing part and the protecting part , wherein the elastic contact member is spaced from and disposed in parallel with the protection member at a given interval while a tip end of the contact part of the elastic contact member is positioned inside and in parallel with the protecting part . The accommodation hole is formed such that a part of the elastic contact member enters accommodation hole as the elastic contact member is elastically deformed. When another contact contacts the contact part of the elastic contact member of the contact , the elastic contact member is moved downward-and displaced, and a part of the elastic contact member near the contact part , for example, a flat part , an inclined face and a tip end enter the accommodation hole
