A socket for electronic components includes a case that includes through holes of which inner wall surfaces have conductivity, and a ground contact unit that is disposed in one of the through holes and is electrically connected to an inner wall surface of the through hole. The ground contact unit includes a holding member that holds a conductive member and is fixed in the through hole. The conductive member has elasticity, and includes an intermediate portion held by the holding member, an upper extension portion extending upward from the intermediate portion, and a lower extension portion extending downward from the intermediate portion. The lower extension portion includes a ground extension portion that comes into elastic contact with the inner wall surface of the through hole, a fixed portion that is fixed to a substrate, and an impact absorbing portion that is formed between the fixed portion and the intermediate portion.

Socket for electronic components

An electronic component socket includes a shield plate set forming an opening portion, a movement member including a conductive member having a contact portion capable of contacting an electrode terminal of an electronic component, an elastic member which is electrically connectable to a wiring substrate, and includes a biasing portion having a biasing force and a base portion fixing the biasing portion. The movement member is disposed to move vertically above the elastic member in the opening portion, and the biasing portion elastically contacts the movement member. The shield plate set includes a protrusion protruding in the opening portion, the movement member includes a concave portion which engages with the protrusion, the conductive member includes an inclined surface portion which extends so as to be inclined on an opposite side of the concave portion, and the biasing portion of the elastic member elastically contacts the inclined surface portion.
