ABSTRACT:
A socket for an electric part has an electric part accommodating space, and a plurality of contacts arranged in parallel relation along at least two opposing sides of the space. Each of the contacts has a contact nose portion to be contacted with a contact of the electric part accommodated in the electric part accommodating space, and a spring portion for biasing the contact nose portion inwardly in order to obtain a contacting pressure with the contact of the electric part. The socket also has a pivotable lever disposed along a row of contacts. One end of the pivotable lever is engaged with the contact and the other end extends outwardly from the engaging portion of the contact. The pivotable lever is supported so as to be pivoted about its fulcrum point, which varies in its location on the lever depending on the position of the lever along its pivot path. The pivotable lever, when its other end is pushed down, is pivoted about the fulcrum point to permit the engaging portion to displace the contact nose of the contact outwardly against the resiliency of the spring portion, so that the contact nose is separated from the contact of the electric part.
