ABSTRACT:
A socket assembly includes: a non-conductive body with an L-shaped recess that extends from a top end to one side of a middle portion of the body; first and second conducting pieces separately fixed on the body and respectively having a piercing terminal portion; and an L-shaped coupling member connected pivotally to the body and which conforms with the recess so as to make close engagement therewith. The coupling member receives two electrical cords therein while permitting the electrical cords to be exposed in registry with the conducting pieces. The coupling member is rotatable to press the electrical cords against the conductive pieces so that the piercing terminal portions may be inserted into the electrical cords to achieve electrical connection. The first conducting piece has a bottom end which is secured to the body by a rivet. The second conducting piece has a first end formed with a resilient U-shaped insert portion and a second end formed with an L-shaped bend. The U-shaped insert portion is fitted in one of two insert holes formed in a bottom of the recess at the top end of the body, and the second end of the second conducting piece is pressed downward so as to pivot about the U-shaped insert portion and permit insertion of the L-shaped bend in the other one of the insert holes to mount the second conducting piece on the body.
