ABSTRACT:
A socket for an electrical component comprises a dielectric housing (10) having contact retention cavities (12) and contacts (20) disposed in respective ones of the cavities. At least two of the contacts (20) each comprises a generally U-shaped configuration having first and second legs (21, 22) with a transverse element (23) joining together said legs. An extension (24) of the first leg (21) is bent back toward the second leg (22) and arranged to engage a lead of the electrical component. A tab (26) sheared from a center portion of the transverse element (23) and the first leg (21) extends downwardly from the second leg (22) through an aperture in a bottom of its respective cavity, thereby defining a slot (27) in the center portion of the transverse element and the first leg. An auxiliary electrical component (30) mounted on the socket has at least two leads (32) each of which is electrically terminated to a respective one of the at least two contacts by engagement between sides of the slot (27) in its respective contact.
