Contact for electrically connecting a first member and a second member using spring part

A contact capable of electrically connecting a first member and a second member, comprising:

• a base part with a bonding surface soldered to the first member;
• a contact part that is in contact with the second member;
• and
• a spring part provided between the base part and the contact part and configured to be elastically deformable,
• wherein,
• when a three dimensional orthogonal coordinate system is defined, in which an x-axis and a y-axis are parallel to the bonding surface, a z-axis is perpendicular to the bonding surface, and the bonding surface is oriented in a z-axis negative direction,
• the spring part is in a state of biasing the contact part in an x-axis positive direction and a z-axis positive direction by being elastically deformed,
• the contact part includes a sliding part that is oriented in the x-axis positive direction, and
• the base part includes a part to be slided that is oriented in an x-axis negative direction,
• the contact part is in a state in which the sliding part is in pressure contact with the part to be slided by being biased in the x-axis positive direction by the spring part,
• the contact part is configured to be slidable in a z-axis direction relative to the base part while maintaining the state in which the sliding part is in pressure contact with the part to be slided,
• the base part includes a first side wall part and a second side wall part that are spaced apart from each other in a y-axis direction,
• the contact part is disposed at a position between the first side wall part and the second side wall part,
• a gap is secured in the y-axis direction between the contact part and the first side wall part and between the contact part and the second side wall part,
• the base part includes:
• a bottom plate with the bonding surface;
• the first side wall part extending in the z-axis positive direction from an end portion of the bottom plate in a y-axis positive direction;
• the second side wall part extending in the z-axis positive direction from an end portion of the bottom plate in a y-axis negative direction;
• a first front wall part extending in the y-axis negative direction from an end portion of the first side wall part in the x-axis positive direction;
• and
• a second front wall part extending in the y-axis positive direction from an end portion of the second side wall part in the x-axis positive direction,
• wherein
• a position in the first front wall part and a position in the second front wall part facing in the x-axis negative direction constitute the part to be slided, and the contact part includes:
• a top plate that is in contact with the second member at a position facing the z-axis positive direction;
• a first vertical part extending from an end portion of the top plate in the x-axis positive direction toward the z-axis negative direction;
• a second vertical part extending from an end portion of the top plate in the x-axis negative direction toward the z-axis negative direction;
• a third vertical part extending from an end portion of the top plate in the y-axis positive direction toward the z-axis negative direction;
• and
• a fourth vertical part extending from an end portion of the top plate in the y-axis negative direction toward the z-axis negative direction,
• wherein
• the sliding part is formed by a position of the first vertical part facing the x-axis positive direction, and
• one end of the spring part is connected to an end portion of the bottom plate in the x-axis positive direction, the other end of the spring part is connected to an end portion of the second vertical part in the z-axis negative direction, and the spring part is configured to be elastically deformable between the one end and the other end.
