Abstract
A sliding contact includes a sliding contact piece having a contact segment and fixed to a snap member extending perpendicularly to the contact segment. The snap member has at least two snap portions formed in alignment perpendicular to the contact segments including one adjacent the contact segments which is adapted to be concentrically fitted onto a mounting projection of a slider and another apart from the contact segments which is adapted to keep the angle of the contact segments to the slider. Also, there is a connecting contact with at least two holding arms for nipping therebetween a substrate on both sides thereof, at least one of the holding arms having a projection to be inserted in a hole or recess preliminarily formed in the substrate. After the projection is received in the hole or recess, it is fixed by a conductive anchoring material such as solder, so that the connecting contact may be fixedly attached to the substrate.
