Abstract
A contact member is disclosed that includes a trunk part into which a strip-shaped part is formed substantially annularly; a first contact part at a first end of the trunk part; and a second contact part at a second end of the trunk part, the second contact part being positioned inside the first contact part. The first contact part and the second contact part face each other. The strip-shaped part is configured to be elastically twisted to cause the second contact part to come into contact with the first contact part in response to the second contact part being pressed in a direction of the axis of the trunk part. The strip-shaped part includes multiple turn-around parts between the first contact part and the second contact part.

A contact member, comprising:
- a trunk part into which a strip-shaped part is formed substantially annularly;
- a first contact part at a first end of the trunk part;
- and
- a second contact part at a second end of the trunk part, the second contact part being positioned inside the first contact part,
- wherein the first contact part and the second contact part face each other,
- the strip-shaped part is configured to be elastically twisted to cause the second contact part to come into contact with the first contact part in response to the second contact part being pressed in a direction of an axis of the trunk part, and
- the strip-shaped part includes a plurality of turn-around parts between the first contact part and the second contact part.
A connector, comprising:
- a contact member including
- a trunk part into which a strip-shaped part is formed substantially annularly;
- a first contact part at a first end of the trunk part;
- and
- a second contact part at a second end of the trunk part, the second contact part being positioned inside the first contact part,
- wherein the first contact part and the second contact part face each other,
- the strip-shaped part is configured to be elastically twisted to cause the second contact part to come into contact with the first contact part in response to the second contact part being pressed in a direction of an axis of the trunk part, and
- the strip-shaped part includes a plurality of turn-around parts between the first contact part and the second contact part;
- and
- a connector main body including a hole part corresponding to the trunk part of the contact member,
- wherein the contact member is incorporated in the connector main body with the trunk part of the contact member being contained in the hole part.
