Structure for electrical connection of electric part

A structure for use in electrical connection of an electric part, said structure comprising:

• a base member having a through-hole formed therein;
• a longitudinally compressible contact probe mounted in said through-hole of said base member so as to protrude upwardly therefrom when in an uncompressed state;
• an intermediate contact member having a first extreme end and a second extreme end, said first extreme end constituting a fulcrum and being rotatably attached to and supported by said base member such that said intermediate contact member is pivotable about said first extreme end between a rest position in which said second extreme end is in an upper position and a compressing position in which said second extreme end is in a lowered position;
• wherein said intermediate contact member includes a contact point at which said intermediate contact member contacts a protruding end of said compressible contact probe;
• and
• wherein said fulcrum at said first extreme end of said intermediate contact member is disposed at a level below a level of said contact point when said intermediate contact member is in either said rest position or said compressing position.
