Abstract:
1. A socket for an electrical part including a socket body provided with an accommodation portion in which an electrical part having spherical terminals is accommodated and contact pins arranged so as to be contacted to or separated from the terminals, respectively, and a movable member for elastically deforming the contact pins in a horizontal direction, wherein: each of the contact pins includes one elastic piece in form of plate having conductivity and elasticity so as to be elastically deformable along a plate surface direction, and the contact pin has a contact portion in form of plate formed at an upper portion of the elastic piece, the contact portion having a side edge portion which is contacted to or separated from a side surface of the spherical terminal, the contact pins are arranged such that contacting directions of the contact pins differ so that horizontal forces to be applied from the contact pins to the terminals are equilibrium in a whole structure of the socket body.
