Abstract

A first contact portion of each of contact pins is formed with a positioning stepped portion, and a socket body is formed with a positioning engaging portion. While the positioning stepped portion is engaged with the positioning engaging portion in a state where a first spring portion of each contact pin is elastically deformed, the positioning stepped portion is pressed against the positioning engaging portion by means of an elastic force of the first spring portion so that positioning of each first contact portion supporting corresponding one of IC terminals is accomplished relative to the socket body with high accuracy. Thus, dispersion of positions of the first contact portions is diminished among the contact pins.
