CONTACT IN ELECTRIC PART SOCKET

摘要

A contact in an electric part socket has a first spring portion, a second spring portion spaced apart from the first spring portion but connected to it at both basal and distal ends thereof, a terminal portion continuously leading to the connected portion between the basal ends and adapted to be brought into contact with a wiring board or the like, and a mount contact portion formed on the connected portion between their distal ends and adapted to be brought into contact with a terminal of an electric part to be mounted on it. The first and second spring portions are flexed about the connected portion between the basal ends in order to displace the mount contact portion downward. The mount contact portion is pressure contacted with the terminal of the electric part mounted on it by reaction of the first and second spring portions.
