Abstract:
The present invention provides a conductive ball, which can be used as a connector by intervening between electrodes to apply a current between the electrodes with relatively high conductivity, and which is prevented from decreasing the conductivity due to the following thermal history. The conductive ball of the present invention comprises a sphere formed of an elastic body; a thermal expansion-resistant resin shell applied so as to coat the surface of the sphere; and a conductive metal shell applied so as to coat the outer surface of the thermal expansion-resistant resin shell. For example, the sphere is formed of a silicone rubber, the thermal expansion-resistant resin shell is formed of a polyimide, and the conductive metal shell is formed of copper, gold, silver, or palladium, or an alloy containing it.

Claim (Index 6):
The connector according to  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the thermal expansion-resistant resin shell is from 1% to 20% of a diameter of the sphere.
