ELECTRIC CONTACT MEMBER AND CONTACT PROBE

摘要

Provided are an electric contact member which has excellent durability and high cost performance, and a contact probe.  The electric contact member is provided with an outer circumferential section, which is symmetrical with respect to the center axis in the longitudinal direction and has a hollow section, and a core section, which extends in a substantially bar-like shape in the longitudinal direction and fills the hollow section.  One of the outer circumferential section and a part of the core section is composed of a noble metal alloy, and the other one is composed of a conductive material different from the noble metal alloy.  One of the outer circumferential section and the core section, which is composed of the noble metal alloy, may protrude from the other at one end in the longitudinal direction.
