Abstract
In an IC socket, a depressing portion of a cover is pressed against a pressure receiving portion of a pressure receiving lever by downwardly pressing the cover, and then a contact portion of a contact is displaced in the rearward direction by movement of the pressure receiving lever. The depressing portion is formed by an inclined cam surface having a downward gradient in the rearward direction. When the cover is moved in the downward direction, the pressure receiving portion is caused to slidably move from the upper end side to the lower end side of the downwardly inclined cam surface.
