The socket includes a first holder part having a first hole, a second holder part having a second hole, and a spring member accommodated at a position between the first hole and the second hole and having a third hole. The first hole, second hole, and third hole have a shape extending in a direction that is different from a direction in which the terminal is passed through. The terminal is turned after being passed through the holes, whereby the terminal moves inside the first hole, second hole, and third hole, and is fixed when the terminal reaches an outer edge portion of the third hole of the spring member.
