Patent ID: 10398051

Abstract:
The socket of the present disclosure includes: a terminal unit assembly with a plurality of terminal units, each extending in a longitudinal direction, arranged along a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; and a frame member including an assembly accommodating recess that accommodates the terminal unit assembly. The terminal units each include: a terminal holding part extending in the longitudinal direction; a plurality of terminals; and a side wall. The plurality of terminals each includes a body held by the terminal holding part, a contact part protruding upward beyond an upper surface the terminal unit or protruding downward beyond a lower surface of the terminal unit, and a contact arm connecting the body and the contact part; and the side wall extends in the longitudinal direction, includes a plurality of abutting parts capable of abutting the contact arm, and is arranged adjacent to the terminal holding part in the lateral direction. When the contact part receives force in a vertical direction orthogonal to the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction, the side wall receives force toward one side in the longitudinal direction.
