Abstract
A spring connector has a case made of resin. Conductive films are formed on an inside wall of a space in the case, on an upper surface of the case, on an outside wall of the case, and on an underside of the case so as to electrically connect the inside wall with the underside of the case. A coil spring is inserted in the space of the case, and a plunger made of metal is slidably mounted in the space, so that the plunger is outwardly urged by the coil spring. A lid is secured to the upper surface of the case for stopping the plunger urged by the coil spring.
