Patent ID: 7318729

Claim:
A sheet-like connector comprising an insulating sheet and a plurality of electrode structures arranged in the insulating sheet in a state separated from one another in a plane direction of the insulating sheet and extending through in a thickness-wise direction of the insulating sheet, wherein each of the electrode structures includes, a front-surface electrode part exposed to a front surface 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, the front-surface electrode part and the short circuit part formed of a metal, 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, and including a metal layer having a thickness of 3 to 12 μm formed on the insulating material, the metal forming the front-surface electrode part and the short circuit part is a different metal than the metal forming the holding part.
