Patent attributes
A socket contact of small-size is provided for which detachment at solder from the print substrate is difficult. In the contact 1, a face in the thickness direction 120 of a front end portion of a pair of elastic arms 12a and 12b faces toward the insertion opening 21. When a blade contact 3 is inserted into an insertion opening 21, it is possible to open front end portions of a pair of elastic arms 12a and 12b in opposing directions. The configuration is such that, by providing first to third press fit fragments 111, 112, and 113 on a base unit 11, the same is securely held to the housing 2, so that only compressive stress acts on the pair of lead portions 11c and 11d, and can be made difficult to detach at solder from the print substrate 1p.
