Abstract
A socket can connect to a plurality of dependent pins on an electrical element. The socket has an insulative base with a plurality of receptacles, each adapted to receive an electrical contact. A plate is mounted upon the insulative base to slide between an engaged position and a released position. This plate has a plurality of pin insertion holes distributed in a pattern matching that of the receptacles in the insulative base. The plate in the release position allows insertion of the dependent pins without deflecting contacts in the receptacles. A spring is mounted between the plate and the base for urging the plate toward the engaged position. A cam or similar device is mounted between the base and the plate for relatively driving them.
