ABSTRACT:
An IC socket includes a socket body, an IC package receiving portion formed in the socket body and adapted to receive an IC package therein, a plurality of contacts arranged in array along the IC package receiving portion, and a mechanism for resiliently displacing the contacts between a forward displacement position where the contacts are capable of contacting corresponding terminals of the IC package and a backward position where the contacted-relation between the contacts and the terminals can be canceled. Each of the contacts includes an upper contact piece and a lower contact piece supported by a common first spring portion for causing the contact to be displaced forwardly and backwardly. At least one of the upper contact piece and the lower contact piece can be resiliently displaced upwardly and downwardly by a second spring portion, and the terminal is pinchingly held under pressure between the upper contact piece and the lower contact piece when the contact is displaced forwardly, through the common first spring portion.
