ABSTRACT:
A contact structure of a socket connector capable of shortening the arrangement pitch of socket contacts, and speeding up the processing cycle by simplifying the structure of a stamping die for the socket contacts. The socket contacts are formed by stamping an electrically conductive flat metal plate. Each socket contact is provided with a conductive section for taking on the contact with the other pin contact, a holding section to be press-fitted and fixed in an insulating housing, and a terminal section to be soldered on a circuit substrate. The conductive section is stamped out in the shape of a long strip having a smaller width than the holding section. A rectangular opening is formed at the center of the conductive section, and contact leaves are respectively formed at the inner side edges of a pair of planar spring sections which are opposed to each other through the opening. The contact leaves are positioned offset from each other in the lengthwise direction of the opening, and bent at an angle a little less than 90.degree. with respect to the planes of the spring sections.
