PURPOSE: To prevent buckling or deformation in the vicinity of a fixing position at the time of press-fitting, and improve the productivity for a contact to be press-fitted into a circuit board, a connector insulation body, etc., to be fixed.

CONSTITUTION: For a press-fit fixing type contact of a straight plate at least one end of which is formed to be a terminal to be connected without solder, having an enlarged zone for a fixing part to a fixing member and a wide part for press-fit fixing work formed in a predetermined range of its length, a reinforcement means to bend in the thickness in such a length as to cover at least a middle zone between the fixing part 5e and the wide part 5c is provided in the range including the press-fit fixing type contact fixing part 5e and the wide part 5c.
