A socket for connecting an electrical component to a circuit substrate is disclosed. The electrical component has a terminal extending along a terminal axis therefrom. The socket includes a base, a contact secured to the base to electrically connect the terminal to the circuit substrate, a cover attached to the base, and an actuator. The contact includes a beam portion elongated along a beam axis, and a contact mating portion flexibly connected to an end of the beam portion and defining a contact plane at an angle with the beam axis. The contact mating portion has a contact aperture therein to receive the terminal. The cover has a lead-in aperture for receiving the terminal and allowing the terminal to enter the contact aperture. The actuator is operatively coupled to the contact, for causing the contact mating portion to rotate and to engage the terminal.
