ABSTRACT:
A socket contact includes at its one end a connection portion to be connected to a board, at its center a fixing portion to be fixed to an insulator and at the other end two contact pieces having contact portions, respectively, for receiving therebetween a mating contact of a mating connector. The contact pieces are provided with recesses on the side of the fixing portion, respectively. A tongue having a width substantially equal to that of the fixing portion is provided. The tongue extends from the fixing portion toward the contact portions and is connected through a shank to the fixing portion. The tongue serves to prevent the socket contact from tilting in the insulator due to clearance therebetween so that the stable contact of the socket contact with the mating contact can be obtained and any damage of the socket contact can be prevented.
