Abstract:
1. A socket for an electrical part having a socket body to which an electrical part is accommodated, said socket body being provided with a number of contact pins which are contacted to or separated from terminals of the electrical part, a movable member urged by a spring and arranged to be movable with respect to the socket body, and a lever member mounted to the socket body to be rotatable, in which when the lever member is rotated, the movable member is moved to thereby displace the contact pins so as to be contacted to or separated from the terminals of the electrical part, respectively, wherein said lever member is formed with a pressing portion which acts to press a portion of the movable member in accordance with the rotation of the lever member and, when said movable member is moved against the urging force of the spring so as to approach a lowermost position thereof by the rotation of the lever member with maximum stress thereby exerted on the movable member by the urging force of the spring, said pressing portion of the lever member and the pressed portion of the movable member achieve surface-to-surface contact to each other.
