ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket comprises a rectangular base defining a plurality of passageways therein each of which has an upper cavity and a lower cavity communicated with each other. The upper cavity has an opening exposing to exterior larger than another opening of the lower cavity exposing to exterior. A vertical inner wall is formed in each passageway and extending through the upper cavity and the lower cavity. A plurality of contacts are received in the passageways and each contact includes an upper open-looped portion connected to an engagement portion connected to a tail portion. A portion of the upper open-looped portion is coplanar with the engagement portion and the tail portion so that the coplanar portion of the open-looped portion, the engagement portion and the tail portion may be guided by the vertical inner wall when the contact is configured downward into the passageway.
