Patent ID: 8087955

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a conductive contact holder, comprising: forming, from an insulating material, a holder member for holding a plurality of conductive contacts; forming, from a conductive material, a substrate having a hollow portion to which the holder member can be fitted; and fixing the holder member formed from the insulating material by fitting the holding member into the hollow portion of the substrate formed from the conductive material, wherein forming the holder member includes forming a plurality of holder holes for containing the conductive contacts, respectively, the holder holes penetrating first and second members each of which has a groove, and forming the holder member by stacking the first and second members with their grooves facing each other to form a holder flow path that provides communication with the holder holes formed, so as to allow gas flow, and wherein forming the substrate includes forming substrate flow paths that penetrate different side surfaces of the substrate via the holder flow path formed, so as to allow gas flow.
