ABSTRACT:
A socket for electronic elements comprising a base on which a top cover is secured to form a box-like member for receiving a slidable block therein. The slidable block has a plurality of funnel-like penetrating holes formed thereon with a plurality of resilient Y-shaped pinching elements respectively disposed therein and in electrical connection with the circuit board on which the socket is disposed. A lifting mechanism is devised to move the slidable block up and down so as to have the Y-shaped elements pinch and release the pins of an IC element inserted thereinto with the separate ends thereof and forming an electrical connection therebetween.
