An electric connector has a contact spring. The contact spring includes a fixed portion that is retained by a housing, an
involute portion that is extended from the fixed portion into an inward spiral pattern, a revolute portion that is inverted from the
involute portion and extended into an outward spiral pattern along the
involute portion, an arm portion that is connected to a
tail end portion of the revolute portion, a tangential direction of a portion connected to the revolute portion in the arm portion being aligned with a tangential direction of the
tail end portion of the revolute portion, and a contact portion that is provided at a leading end of the arm portion to be projected to an outside of the housing, the contact portion abutting on the-other-end
electrode to receive a pressing force in a direction in which the arm portion is substantially extended.
