A connection terminal that can be brought into stable one-point contact with an electrode and that allows for a smooth connecting operation, even in the case of small contact pads or other such electrodes for establishing electrical contact. A socket contact as the connection terminal is provided to an electronic-component connector having an open portion into which a module is inserted. The socket contact comes into contact at the distal end with an electrode of the module in a direction that intersects with the connecting direction of the module when the module is inserted. The socket contact has a contact part having a contact trunk that protrudes into the opening from the proximal-end side, and a contact point provided to the distal end of the contact trunk. The concave electrode of the module slides from the proximal-end side of the contact part to the distal-end side, and the contact part narrows towards the front surface.
