ABSTRACT:
Generally U-shaped contact elements (11) mounted in a socket body (2) each has a flexible portion (13), a generally U-shaped bent portion (14) which bends approximately 180.degree. and a contact portion (15). A head (31) which supports an IC package (21) moves toward the main socket body (2) to mount the IC package (21) in socket (1). Immediately before reaching the mounting position of the IC package, an arm (9) of a lever (7), rotatably journaled in the socket body (2), is pushed by head (31) rotating lever (7). Arm (10) of lever (7), sandwiched between the contact flexible portion (13) and the lower end of the contact portion (15), rotates therewith pressing contact portions (15) against leads (26) of the IC package, thereby effecting an electric connection between the two.
