Abstract

In an electrical connector, in which when an upper operation member 17 is vertically moved, a movable plate 14 is horizontally moved through an X-shaped link 18 to thereby displace a contact pin to separate the contact pin from and contact it to a terminal of one of electrical parts, a plurality of X-shaped links 18 are disposed with space at positions corresponding to side surface portions along the horizontally moving direction of the movable plate 14, lower end portions 23b of one link members 23 are pivotally connected to a socket body 13 and lower end portions 25a of another link members 25 are pivotally connected to the movable plate 14, upper end portions 25b of another link members 25 are pivotally connected to the supper operation member 17 and upper end portions 23c of one link members 23 are connected to the upper operation member 17 to be relatively movable in the horizontal direction thereof. Accordingly, even if an amount to be depressed of the upper operation member is increased, it is not necessary to make large the depressing force proportionally thereto, and moreover, the movable plate 14 can be correctly moved in the horizontal direction.
