In a socket for an electric part, contact pin-operating bores 12 are provided in a slide plate 10 for opening contact pins 3, and operating grooves 14 are defined in the slide plate 10 and each have a tapered face 16. Operating arms 25 are disposed on an operating member 21 adapted to be engaged into the operating grooves 14 in the slide plate 10, so that the tapered faces 16 of the operating grooves 14 are urged by the operating arms 25 by urging the operating member 21 downwards, thereby directly moving the slide plate 10. Thus, the slide plate can be moved by a simple structure, and the socket can be manufactured easily and at a lower cost. In addition, the stability of contact of the contact pins with terminals can be enhanced.
