Claim:
An electronic component connecting apparatus comprising: an electronic component connecting section connected to an electronic component having a plurality of terminals; a circuit board connecting section which is connected to a circuit board and which electrically connects at least one of the plurality of terminals and the circuit board with each other; a conduction section which electrically connects an external apparatus other than the circuit board and the electronic component connecting apparatus with at least one of the plurality of terminals; a first pin made of metal having one end facing a connection terminal; a second pin made of resin that extends toward the other end of the first pin opposite to the one end of the first pin, in the direction of the axis of the first pin; and a spring which forces the second pin in a direction in which the second pin is pressed against the first pin so that the first pin is pressed against the connection terminal, wherein the conduction section is contacted with the first pin pressed against the connection terminal, so as to be electrically connected with the connection terminal.
