Abstract
A socket for electric parts is equipped with a socket body having a mounting face on which an electric part is mounted; contact pins fixed on the socket body, each having a contact portion, a trigger portion, and a spring portion; and a cover mounted on the socket body, free to move up and down. The end edge of the contact portion contacts a corresponding lead of the electric part and is configured to incline with respect to the end edge of the lead. The trigger portion and the spring portion are configured to project toward the center of the socket body. The width of the spring portion projecting toward the center of the socket body is such as to increase progressively in going to the base portion of the contact pin. In this way, a high pressure of contact between the lead and the contact pin and a sufficient wiping action are ensured, and a socket for electric parts capable of continued high performance over a long period of time is provided.
