Socket for electrical parts

A socket for an electrical part which is mounted to a circuit board and in which an electrical part is mounted so as to be electrically connected to the circuit board, said socket comprising:

• a contact sheet disposed on the printed circuit board and including an elastic body in form of plate having elasticity and insulating property and a conductive portion embedded in the elastic body, said conductive portion having both ends exposed to both surfaces of the elastic body;
• a land sheet disposed between the contact sheet and the electrical part, said land sheet being composed of an insulating sheet having both surfaces on which electrode portions are formed respectively to be electrically conductive to each other, one of said electrode portions being formed on one side of the surfaces of the land sheet to be contacted to and electrically connected to a terminal of the electrical part and the other one of said electrode portions being formed on the other one side of the surfaces of the land sheet to be contacted and electrically connected to the conductive portion of the contact sheet;
• and
• at least one plate member mounted to the circuit board, said contact sheet and land sheet have end portions which are clamped and held between the plate member and the printed circuit board.
