Abstract
Disclosed herein are a sheet-like connector that electrode structures each having a front-surface electrode part small in diameter can be formed, a stable electrically connected state can be surely achieved even to a circuit device, on which electrodes have been formed at a small pitch, and the electrode structures are prevented from falling off from an insulating sheet to achieve high durability, and a production process and applications thereof. The sheet-like connector of the invention has an insulating sheet and a plurality of electrode structures arranged in the insulating sheet and extending through in a thickness-wise direction of the insulating sheet. Each of the electrode structures is composed of a front-surface electrode part exposed to a front surfaces of the insulating sheet and projected from the front surface of the insulating sheet, a back-surface electrode part exposed to a back surface of the insulating sheet, a short circuit part continuously extending from the base end of the front-surface electrode part through the insulating sheet in the thickness-wise direction thereof and linked to the back-surface electrode part, and a holding part continuously extending from a base end portion of the front-surface electrode part outward along the front surface of the insulating sheet.
