Abstract:
A socket for an electrical part, comprising:a socket body; upper and lower contact pins mounted so as to be contacted to and separated from the terminal of the electrical part, said upper contact pin being formed with an upper elastic piece having an upper contact portion contacting an upper surface of the terminal and said lower contact pin being formed with a lower elastic piece having a lower contact portion contacting a lower surface of the terminal; and an operation member that is reciprocally movable with respect to the socket body, in which when said operation member is reciprocally moved, the upper contact portion is contacted to and separated from the upper surface of the terminal, wherein when the upper contact portion is contacted to the upper surface of the terminal of the electrical part so as to clamp the terminal between the upper and lower contact portions, said lower elastic piece is elastically deformed by an elastic force of the upper elastic piece and the lower contact portion is displaced in a direction reverse to the displacing direction of the upper contact portion so that the terminal of the electrical part and the lower contact portion are slidably moved.
