Abstract

A socket includes: a base; a connection fitting including a bracket and a spring member, configured to form pressure springs by dividing the spring member into two in a width direction by a slit provided to the spring member, and assembled to an upper surface of the base; and a case cover configured to fit to the base and to cover the connection fitting. The pressure springs of the spring member are pressed and elastically deformed by an operation driver inserted through an operation hole provided to the case cover, to sandwich between the bracket and the pressure springs a lead inserted through an insertion hole provided to the case cover. A guide partition wall configured to engage with the slit of the spring member is integrally molded with an inner surface of the case cover.
