Abstract
An socket for an electrical part comprises a socket body provided with a mount portion on which an IC package as “electrical part” is mounted, a plurality of contact pins attached to the socket body so as to be electrically conductive to an IC lead of the IC package, and an upper operation member provided for the socket body to be vertically movable. The contact pins are provided with a stationary contact piece having a stationary contact portion contacting a lower surface of the IC lead and a movable contact piece having a movable contact portion contacting an upper surface of the IC lead, and when the upper operation member is vertically moved, the movable contact portion is displaced so as to be contacted to or separated from the terminal. In such an IC socket as “socket for an electrical part” contacted to or separated from the IC lead, the stationary contact piece of the contact pin is formed with an engagement portion to be engaged and the socket body is formed with an engaging portion for limiting the upper movement of the stationary contact piece in engagement with the engagement portion.
