A contact for insertion into a socket of an electric part and for receiving a terminal. The contact has a first elongated contact element and a second elongated contact element made of a resilient conductive material and disposed in spaced parallel relation, the elongated contact elements being interconnected at respective one ends thereof to form a contact terminal for insertion into a socket, and having at the other ends thereof respective first and second contact portions which are elongated transversely of the elongated contact elements and each extending toward the other elongated contact element, the first contact portion being further from the one ends in the direction of elongation of the elongated contact elements than the second contact portion and being in spaced opposed relation thereto and extending past the second contact portion in the direction of elongation of the first contact portion to form a pressure receiving part, the contact portions being positioned for being elastically displacable in a direction laterally of both the direction of elongation of elongated contact elements and the elongated contact portions without interfering with each other, whereby when a force is applied to the pressure receiving part in the lateral direction, the contact portions are separated in the lateral direction to form a terminal receiving opening therebetween into which a terminal can be inserted under no load, and upon release of the force, the contact portions move together to grip the terminal therebetween.
