Abstract
A socket for an electronic device having leads projecting laterally therefrom comprises a socket substrate having grooves formed on one surface thereof for accommodating the leads therein and also having contacts which are plate members punched out of a strap of plate and bent in a substantially L-shape with a fold in the widthwise direction and each composed of a first plate strip and a second plate strip with the fold as a boundary, the first plate strip having one surface laid along and supported on the bottom of the groove to thereby serve as a rigid contact, the second plate strip being implanted from the bottom of the groove in the socket substrate to project downwardly from the lower surface of the socket substrate and serve as a male terminal, and a cover being superposed on and fixed with fastening means to the socket substrate and having resilient pressure strips each resiliently clamping, in cooperation with the other surface of the first plate strip, the lead of the electronic device accommodated in the groove of the socket substrate.
