ABSTRACT:
A contact and a connecting apparatus are provided to enable miniaturization and shortening and cost reduction in response to further miniaturization and finer pitch of inspection objects. The contact is one electrically for contacting a terminal of a wire and includes a one-side plunger portion, an other-side plunger portion, and an elastic deformation portion provided between the plunger portions. The elastic deformation portion is made of an annular and conductive elastic member integrally connected to the one-side plunger portion and the other-side plunger portion. The plurally arranged elastic deformation portions are disposed in a zigzag shape in the up-down direction with their adjacent heights different from each other. The connecting apparatus includes the plurality of contacts electrically contacting terminals disposed on an inspection object and a contact plate for integrally supporting the respective contacts to make the contacts contact with the respective terminals of the inspection object.
