The invention provides a contact terminal, an inspection jig, and an inspection device, whereby generation of a magnetic field due to inspection can be reduced. A contact terminal Pr is provided witha conductive outer cylindrical body Pa, and a conductive inner cylindrical body Pb inserted into the cylinder of the outer cylindrical body Pa. A spiral outer first spring section SO1 is formed in theouter cylindrical body Pa, said outer first spring section extending and contracting in the axis direction of the outer cylindrical body Pa, and having the winding direction in the first direction, and a spiral inner first spring section SI1 is formed in the inner cylindrical body Pb, said inner first spring section extending and contracting in the axis direction of the inner cylindrical body Pb,and having the winding direction in the second direction that is the direction reverse to the first direction.
