ABSTRACT:
An elastic contact includes a first elastic piece and a second elastic piece. The first elastic piece includes a base configured for being soldered to a circuit board and a connection part. The second elastic piece includes a contact part configured for resiliently pressing against an element and a connection part. Two sidewalls of one of the connection part bend to form grooves for receiving the other connection part. Limiting means are formed on either of the connection parts for limiting sliding range of the elastic pieces relative to each other. The first elastic piece of the elastic contact can be soldered to the circuit board by a SMT machine, thus the assembly efficiency is improved.
