Abstract
An IC socket includes a plurality of contacts each including a spring formed by winding a conductive material around a winding axis with an effective winding number of at least 1 round, and arms provided on both ends of the spring, and a housing including the same number of holes as the plurality of contacts, the holes each having one of the contacts inserted therein in a state in which the spring is compressed in a direction of the winding axis so as to allow adjacent coil portions in the spring to come into contact with each other and to be electrically conductive.
