Provided are an electrical contact and a production method and production device therefor which make it possible not only to simplify production steps by not requiring extra steps such as an intermediate plating step, but also to comparatively stably support the electrical contact and easily work the same into a complicated shape. The present invention pertains to an electrical contact obtained by press-fitting a thin metal wire into a through-hole provided in a busbar having a flat plate or a rectangularly shaped cross-section, and as a result, connecting the wire and the busbar to one another, the electrical contact being characterized in that: the one or more through-holes are provided in a straight line for a desired distance in the lengthwise direction of the press-fit thin metal wire from the edge of the end section on one side of the busbar having the flat plate or the rectangularly shaped cross-section; the pressing surfaces of the thin metal wire and the busbar having the flat plate or the rectangularly shaped cross-section are flat or are flat with a concavity in a section thereof; and one end of the thin metal wire has a molded and rolled section formed therein in a direction perpendicular to the direction of pressing during the press-fitting. |
