ABSTRACT:
A socket connector (35) has a socket contact (1) installed in it, the contact being for connection with a wire end (20) in isolated compartment (26) of an insulating housing (25), the contact having a body (2) U-shaped in cross section composed of bent-up lateral walls (4) and a bottom (3). A lance (10) formed by punching the bottom protrudes outwards to be of the same width as a transverse width of the bottom and have two bent portions. One of the bent portions is located at a basal end (11) of the lance, and the other at a middle region (14) of the lance, thereby affording improved rigidity and resiliency to the lance. The bottom (3) has a broadened inner end (17) of the same width as a transverse width of contact body (2), so that the lance is of an improved rigidity and resiliency to be firmly retained in a connector housing not to slip off, even if made smaller in size.
