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 contact portion which is oriented in a vertical direction to form a contact point, an intermediate portion which is inserted in a through hole provided on the contact substrate, and a base portion having a base end which functions as a contact pad and a spring portion provided between the base end and the intermediate portion for producing a resilient contact force when the contactor is pressed against the contact target.
