ABSTRACT:
A socket is disclosed in which a contacting portion of a contact can be displaced outwardly in order to facilitate an easy insertion or removal of an electric part such as an IC. A contacting portion of a contact is displaced inwardly in order to obtain an electrical contact between a contacting point of the electric part and the contacting portion. The contact includes a hook-shaped latch portion extending in a direction opposite the contacting portion and extending downwardly. An acting portion of a pivotal lever is brought into contact engagement with an inner surface of the hook-shaped latch portion, and the acting portion exerts an outward tensile force against the latch portion of the pivotal lever while being pivoted in the inner surface of the hook portion. This causes outward displacement of the contacting portion such that the contacting portion is removed from the contacting point of the electric part.
