Abstract
In a receptacle of the invention for battery using apparatuses, when mounting it to a circuit board, an electrode contact portionof a contact for a batterydisposed on an electrode disposing portionis disposed so that its forward portion may protrude above a battery mounting portion. When mounting a batteryonto the battery mounting portion, an electrodein a recessis pressed against the electrode contact portionin such an inclined state that the lower end of an end surface having an electrodeformed thereon is abutted against the right surface of the battery mounting portionwhile raising the other end simultaneously and then the batteryis pushed forward to flex a slant striptoward the side of an electrode disposing portionwhile pressing down the other end, so that it can provide a large flexure allowance as compared to the case of flexing it vertically and resultantly enhance the contacting pressure, thus securing the connection with the battery electrode.
