Abstract
A contact structure having a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors is a block of a large contact structure or a contactor assembly for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors in which each of the contactors has a curved portion for exerting a spring force in a vertical direction. The contact substrate has engagement mechanism at outer edges thereof so as to connect other contact substrates at any desired edges to establish the contactor assembly with desired size, shape and number of contactors.
