Abstract
A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contactor carrier and a plurality of contactors attached to a contactor adapter. The contactor adapter is inserted in a slot of the contactor carrier, thereby locking the contactors on the contactor carrier. The contactor has an upper end having a cut-out to engage fit in contactor adapter, a lower end oriented in a direction opposite to the upper end and functions as a contact point for electrical connection with a contact target, and a diagonal portion provided between the upper end and the lower end to function as a spring.
