If it is smaller than the current state, it will not be possible because it will exceed the spring limit. In the case of the coil spring type, the size can be reduced, but the conductor diameter is small and the resistance value is large, so that current cannot flow. A large number of windings causes problems at high frequencies. In the case of the bamboo shoot spring type, a large stroke is taken and the electrical characteristics are good. However, it is a contact on one side. The opposite side has a large contact area. In the case of the contact probe type, the electrical characteristics are good, but there is a problem that it is expensive.

変化することなく、安定である。Next, the effects of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. When the end surface of the bamboo shoot spring 1 comes into contact with the electrode surface, which is a conductive member, the leading end portion presses against the electrode by an appropriate biasing force of the spring portions 1a and 1b, thereby ensuring electrical conduction. The bamboo shoot spring 1 can take a sufficiently large stroke and can obtain stable conduction with respect to the electrode surface. Therefore, even when a large stroke is required, it can be advantageously applied to the miniaturization and thinning of the electric connector. The bamboo shoot spring 1 is made of a single component and can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, since the spring portions 1a and 1b are housed inside the outer cylinder 1d, the spring position does not change in the planar direction while the electrical connector 10 is operating, and is stable.
