Abstract
An electronic part-mounting socket (100) includes a shielding housing (3) defining a receiving cavity (34) for receiving an electronic part. Each of opposed side wall sections (31) of the shielding housing defines a hinge edge (314) with opposed sides. Each side wall section has a portion bent as a resilient contact tongue (315), which is joined to one side of the hinge edge and has a free end thereof inwardly projecting into said receiving cavity for resiliently retaining the electronic part. An extension piece (316) is integrally joined to the other side of the hinge edge and constructed to allow the resilient contact tongue to flex about the hinge edge. Thus, as compared with the prior art, the resilient contact tongue will have a better resilient capability due to the additional extension piece, even after the repeated application of the socket.
