ABSTRACT:
To prevent damage to a printed circuit board due to concentration of contact pressure during press-fitting of press-fit contacts into through-holes of the board with narrow pitches, a press-fit contact includes a bulge portion formed wide substantially at a center in a long direction thereof, a press-fit portion extending from one end of the bulge portion and projecting in an arc in a width direction of the press-fit contact, a contact portion extending from the other end of the bulge portion, and an introduction portion extending from a distal end of the press-fit portion. A center portion of the press-fit portion in the long direction thereof, when adjacent press-fit contacts are provided in alignment with a line, has a direction of expansion that is not parallel to the line but is angled so as to be rotated about an axis of the center portion at a predetermined angle.
