5. A method of forming a female electrical contact part, comprising:
-
cutting and raising a mountain-shaped elastic segment corresponding portion at a plate-like cylindrical-wall-unfolded-shape portion made of conductive metal; cutting the mountain-shaped elastic segment corresponding portion from a top portion so as to form one elastic segment and the other elastic segment; punching or drawing the other elastic segment so as to lie lower and further outward than the one elastic segment, or drawing the one elastic segment so as to lie higher and further inward than the other elastic segment; supporting an outer surface of a distal end of the one elastic segment as an elastic contact segment with a distal end of the other elastic segment as an elastic auxiliary segment.
