Abstract
A socket contact is constituted by a general tubular-shaped body and a pair of opposed resilient members formed by splitting the front portion of the general tubular body with a pair of slits. One of the opposed resilient members has an inner surface having a pair of contacting portions at the predetermined peripheral intervals. The other opposed resilient member has an inner surface having a contact portion in confronting relation with a peripheral center of the pair of contacting portions of the one of the opposed resilient members. As a result, it is possible to clamp a male contact to be inserted stably between the opposed resilient members and then to keep a posture of the male contact with high contact pressure against the male contact.
