Title:
CONTACT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/088753
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A contact (22) is manufactured by electroforming. The contact (22) has a meandering portion (29a) smoothly bent in zigzag, and extension portions (29b, 29c) extend from both ends of the meandering portion (29a), respectively, so as to go around the meandering portion (29a). Columnar contact end portions (29d, 29e) are provided at the ends of the respective extension portions (29b, 29c). The contact (22) is elastically bent within a plane parallel to a flat surface perpendicular to a thickness direction. One side surface (30a) of the contact (22) is curved so as to swell in a section perpendicular to the length direction of the contact (22), and the other side surface (30b) is the flat surface perpendicular to the thickness direction. Consequently, even when the contact is elastically deformed while being in contact with a contact housing member, the friction between the contact and the contact housing member can be reduced, and therefore the contact can be smoothly deformed, and friction can be reduced.
