ABSTRACT:
A sheet-like first contact member, formed as a TAB tape, is housed in a socket, and a sheet-like second contact member, also formed as a TAB tape, is mounted on an insert portion of a plug that can be inserted into the socket. A plurality of first contact elements are patterned on the first contact member, and a plurality of second contact elements are patterned on the second contact member. The first member held in a curved state in a frame so that the first contact elements are curved and have raised central portions and a plurality of springs are mounted at the back of the first contact member in correspondence with the first contact elements. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the first and second contact elements are brought into contact with one another by the stress of the curved first contact elements and the force of the springs.
