Abstract

A contact pin aligned in an IC socket body can be made by stamping, the pin comprising a base, a connecting terminal, a first contacting piece provided at the corresponding position to said connecting terminal and having a slanted or vertical contacting face, a second contacting piece connected to said base through a spring part, and a contacting face to make a conductive contact with the other face. The second contacting face can instead be angular to make a linear contact.
