Abstract
The invention provides an improvement in a socket-type connector used for making electric connection between two circuit units. Unlike a conventional socket-type connector in which a contacting element made of a metal piece in a form of something like a spring is fixed in a rigid socket, at least a part of the socket of the inventive connector is made of an electrically insulating and elastically resilient material so that a pin plug inserted into the socket is held firmly and in good reliable contact with the contacting element by virtue of the elastic resilience given by the part of the socket made of the elastically resilient material where the socket is deformed by the insertion of the pin plug to exhibit rubbery resilience.
