Abstract

A contact according to the present invention comprises a plate-shaped first plunger contacting one member, a plate-shaped second plunger contacting the other member in a state of being overlapped with the first plunger and conducting electricity between the one member and the other member in cooperation with the first plunger, and a compression coil spring which is a member coupling the first plunger with the second plunger in a state where contact pieces thereof are in opposite directions from each other, covering outer circumferences of coupling portions of the first plunger and the second plunger, abutting on spring receiving portions of the respective plungers, and supporting the respective plungers to be relatively slidable. In an electrical connecting apparatus, the contacts are incorporated.
