A leaded device socket includes a lead guide that contacts and urges the leads on an electrical component into the correct position in the device when the component is pressed into the socket. The leaded device socket may also include a receiver for retaining a functional portion of the electrical component in a predetermined position in the circuit. The lead guide and receiver may both be integrally molded with the socket.
