Patent ID: 8632366

Claim:
A socket comprising: a socket body extending at a longitudinal direction; a plurality of contacts disposed in two lines along the longitudinal direction of the socket body; wherein when a circuit board, including terminals formed on at least one of opposite surfaces of the circuit board is connected between the two lines of the contacts along with the longitudinal direction of the socket body, each of the terminals is electrically and elastically connected by a corresponding one of the plurality of contacts; each of the plurality of contacts further comprises: a contact portion for contacting a corresponding one of the terminals; an elastic portion extended from the contact portion for generating an elastic force; an external terminal portion connected to the elastic portion, the contact portion, the elastic portion and the external terminal portion are made of a conductive metal with elastic properties; and a damping resistor comprising an electrical resistive material that is different from the conductive metal, the resistor connected in a current path between the external terminal portion and the corresponding one of the terminals of the circuit board to reduce noise and ringing of carried signals.
