Abstract
A conductive contact unit includes plate-like conductive contacts for electrically connecting different circuitries. Each conductive contact includes a first contacting element to be brought in physical contact with one circuitry, a second contacting element to be brought in physical contact with another circuitry, an elastic element, between the first contacting element and the second contacting element, a first connecting element that connects the elastic element and the first contacting element, and a second connecting element that connects the elastic element and the second contacting element and that has an opening. The conductive contact unit also includes a conductive contact holder including first guiding grooves and second guiding grooves facing the first guiding grooves. The conductive contact holder holds the conductive contacts with both longitudinal outside ends of each conductive contact being slidably engaged with the first and the second guiding grooves.
