Abstract
A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets has a unique mounting mechanism for easy assembly. The contact structure is formed of a contactor carrier and a plurality of contactors. The contactor carrier includes a sliding layer for locking the contactors on the contactor carrier. The contactor has an upper end having a cut-out to engage with the sliding layer, 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 beam portion provided between the upper end and the lower end to function as a spring.
