Abstract

The present invention provides a contact module, a connector, and a method of producing the contact module. The contact module includes a base and a plurality of contacts. Each of the contacts is bent at both ends in one direction. In a section view of each of the contacts, an insulating film, a barrier film, a plating base film, and a plating film are formed on a sheet in this order. The base that bridges the contacts has only the insulating film laminated on the sheet. The plating film has contact points at the bent parts, and a circuit pattern that is interposed between the contact points. The circuit pattern functions as a signal line.
