Abstract
A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors. The contactor has a tip portion at one end of the contactor to contact with the contact target, a base portion at another end of the contactor which is inserted in a through hole provided on the contact substrate in such a way that an end of the contactor functions as a contact pad for electrical connection at a surface of the contact substrate, and a spring portion provided between the tip portion and the base portion which produces a contact force when the contactor is pressed against the contact target.
