ABSTRACT:
A conductive plate element is positioned in an IC socket which includes a socket base defining a plurality of slots for firmly receiving corresponding number of the conductive plate elements and allowing corresponding number of IC pins inserted therein. The conductive plate element is substantially a fork including a left upper plate and a right upper plate both intersected at a lower flat intersection portion thereof, a shoulder extending outward and substantially perpendicular to the flat intersection portion and being bent downward as a lower plate. The left upper plate and the lower plate are substantially parallel to each other. The right upper plate is twisted in substantially a middle portion thereof thus forming a twisted portion. A contact portion which is substantially flat extends upward from the twisted portion. An IC pin is originally inserted into the slot and in loose contact with the left upper plate, thereafter, the IC pin is further manually pulled to firmly touch the contact portion of the right upper plate by retention from the twisted portion of the right upper plate.
