A contact member (1) includes a base portion (3) including a joint portion (3A,23A) solderable to a first conductor; and an elastic contact portion (5,25) formed continuously to the base portion (3) and including a contact portion (5A,25A) contactable with a second conductor. The base portion (3) and the elastic contact portion (5,25) form an integrated molded body include a metal thin plate (7) having electrical conductivity and a spring characteristic. The metal thin plate (7) is a clad material including two or more metal layers (7A,7B) stacked in a plate thickness direction of the metal thin plate (7), a first layer (7A) serving as one surface layer of the two or more stacked metal layers (7A,7B) includes a metal member having a spring characteristic, and a second layer (7B) serving as another surface layer of the two or more stacked metal layers (7A,7B) includes an aluminum member, the joint portion (3A, 23A) includes the first layer (7A) or the first layer (7A) that is plated, and the contact portion (5A,25A) includes the second layer (7B). |
