ABSTRACT:
A unitary socket for an electrical component comprises two plastic body members that are outsert molded to conductor straps which grip lead members of the electrical component and also provide hinge elements that connect the two body members. The body members are molded in coplanar relation to each other; and the hinge elements are then folded to bring the body members into confronting abutment. Additionally, the conductor straps also provide clip elements for holding the body members in the latter relation to one another. One of the body members defines at least one component collar with guide holes in its base for guiding the leads of an electrical component into gripping engagement with the respective conductor straps in the second body member. This mode of construction allows the socket to be formed as a unitary structure without the need for complicated molding dies, or flexible plastic elements.
