ABSTRACT:
A socket for an electric part comprises a socket body for connecting an electric part, a movable plate having a plurality of terminal insertion holes formed therein and being adapted to move along an upper surface of the socket body, a plurality of contacts in the socket body, and a no-load insertion space formed alongside each contact and adapted to facilitate a no-load insertion of a terminal of the electric part. The terminal of the electric part can be inserted into the no-load insertion space through the terminal insertion hole formed in the movable plate. The terminal can then be brought to a position in which it contacts the contact from the no-load insertion space by causing the movable plate to move laterally in one direction. Likewise, the terminal can be moved into the no-load insertion space from the contacting position by causing lateral movement of the movable plate in the other direction, in order to realize a no-load insertion and withdrawal of the electric part. The socket for the electric part further includes a member for normally urging the movable plate in the no-load insertion and withdrawal position direction so as to correctly align the no-load insertion space with the terminal insertion hole. The urging member is disposed, either directly or indirectly between the socket body and the movable plate.
