Abstract
Contacts are formed by a metal injection molding method using metallic fine particle powder as the material therefor. The contacts have a substantially rectangular base portion and an elastic arm that extends upward from one end of an upper surface of the base portion, supported in a cantilever fashion. The portion where the arm is attached to the base or a fixed end portion, has a comparatively large rectangular cross section. The cross sectional area gradually decreases toward the distal end of the arm. An electrical contact tip is formed at the distal end of the arm.
