ABSTRACT:
An electric part socket includes a socket having a plurality of contacts. An electric part having a plurality of terminals can be placed on the socket such that the terminals are brought into contact with the contacts respectively when a press-down force is applied to a body of the electric part. A contacting condition maintaining device for use in the electric part socket comprises a mechanism for pressing down the electric part body, including pressing levers provided at each of at least two opposite sides of the electric part body such that they are pivotable upwardly and downwardly along the opposite sides, latches corresponding to the pressing levers and each engageable with an edge portion of the electric part body when the pressing levers are pivoted downwardly so as to press down the electric part body, and lock members corresponding to the pressing levers and adapted to prohibit the pressing levers from being pivoted upwardly when the pressing levers are pivoted downwardly, so as to cause the latches to maintain condition in which they press down on the electric part body.
