| Summary: | The present invention relates to a socket for an electrical part for detachably accommodating an electrical part such as semiconductor device (called hereunder "IC package"), and more particularly, a socket for an electrical part having improved contact pins contacting terminals of the electrical part.
In an IC socket for an electrical part, a contact pin electrically connecting a terminal of an electrical part and a printed circuit board is provided for a socket body of an IC socket. The contact pin comprises a sleeve having a space with one end opening, a plunger inserted into the sleeve through the end opening thereof to be vertically movable and an elastic member for urging downward the plunger. The sleeve is arranged to be vertically movable with respect to the socket body and is provided with a contact portion formed to an upper end thereof contacts a terminal of the electrical part to be electrically connected thereto and the plunger has a lower end contacting the printed circuit board to establish an electrical connection therebetween. |
