ABSTRACT:
An electric contact comprising a first conductive metal layer on a surface of a plastic layer and a second springiness metal layer on the opposite side of the plastic layer. The first and second metal layers consist of a plurality of metal stripes in parallel with each other in alignment with each other, respectively. Terminal elements of the metal stripes comprises on one sides or on both sides thereof wire positioning walls to facilitate soldering of wires to the terminal elements. By foldering portions of the terminal elements so as to expose the conductive metal layers, the soldering of the wires to the terminal elements are further facilitated. Even if distances between the opposite metal stripes attached to a connector housing are not uniform, the multi contacts are uniformly in contact with each other when connectors are connected. By shifting the terminal elements of multi contacts away from each other keeping their parallelism but not aligned with each other in their longitudinal directions, the difficulty in soldering wires due to overlapping of the terminal elements is eliminated.
