ABSTRACT:
An electric contactor comprises a first resilient contact element and a second resilient contact element extending in an opposing relation to each other. The first and second resilient contact elements are connected together at first ends thereof and open at the second ends thereof. The first and second resilient contact elements are provided the second ends thereof with a first press contact portion and a second press contact portion, respectively, for resiliently clamping a lead pin of an electric part therebetween, the first and second press contact portions being arranged in such a manner as to be positionally displaced with respect to each other in a direction axially of the lead pin, and such that a spring portion extending from the first press contact portion to the connecting end thereof is different in length from a spring portion extending from the second press contact portion to the connecting end thereof. A spring constant of the first resilient contact element is generally equal to a spring constant of the second resilient contact element.
