A contact includes a first contact piece and a second contact piece extending vertically and arranged so that plate surfaces thereof are opposed to each other. A pin terminal projecting vertically from a lower surface of an IC body can be laterally moved and forcibly introduced in between the first contact piece and the second contact piece in order to achieve an electrical connection under pressure. Upper end portions of the first and second contact pieces are bent forwardly to form forwardly-bent pieces, respectively, and an upper edge portion of each of the forwardly-bent pieces is bent backwardly to form a backwardly-bent upper piece. An inner curved-surface of the backwardly-bent piece serves as a pressure contact surface for contacting the pin terminal. A side edge portion of the forwardly-bent piece on the pin terminal introduction side is bent backwardly to form a backwardly-bent side piece continuous with the backwardly-bent upper piece, an inner curved-surface of the backwardly-bent side piece is continuous with the inner curved-surface of the backwardly-bent upper piece, and an inner curved-surface of an upper end of the backwardly-curved side piece serves as a pressure contact surface at an early stage of introduction of the pin terminal.
