Patent ID: 7942677

Claim:
A conductive contact in a plate-like shape that establishes an electrical connection between different circuitries, and receives and outputs an electrical signal from and to the circuitries, the conductive contact comprising: a first contacting element that is brought into physical contact with one of the different circuitries; a second contacting element that is brought into physical contact with one of the different circuitries other than the one the first contacting element is brought into contact with; a resilient element that is interposed between the first contacting element and the second contacting element along a longitudinal direction, and is expandable and contractible in the longitudinal direction; a first connecting element that connects the resilient element and the first contacting element; and a second connecting element that connects the resilient element and the second contacting element, and has an opening penetrating therethrough in a through-thickness direction; wherein at least a portion of the resilient element is shorter than the first connecting element and the second connecting element in a width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the through-thickness direction, wherein the second contacting element projects from a first edge in the width direction of the second connecting element in a direction away from a center of the conductive contact, and wherein the resilient element has at least a portion whose edge, on a side of a second edge in the width direction of the second connecting element opposite the first edge, is retracted toward the center of the conductive contact more than the second edge.
