  • Publication number: 20190348786
    Abstract: An electric contact configured to make a section between a first contact part and a second contact part extendable/contractible. A spring part has a wave-like shape by continuously forming wave-shaped parts alternately on one and the other sides of an axis L as a center for connecting the first contact part and the second contact part, and is formed into a cylindrical shape while having a projection of the wave-shaped part on one side confronting a recess between projections of the wave-shaped parts on the other side. The projection of the wave-shaped part on the one side enters into the recess between the wave-shaped parts on the other side to bring the projection on the one side into abutment on the projection adjacent to the recess upon contraction of the spring part to stop a contracting motion, and establish a conduction state between the projections abutted on each other.

  • Patent number: 9859641
    Abstract: The present invention aims to improve heat dissipation effect for an electrical component in a socket for electrical component in which a socket body and a cover member are separated. According to an embodiment, a cover member includes a frame-like cover body including an opening in a middle portion thereof, a heatsink provided to penetrate through the opening of the frame-like cover body, an elevating part supporting the heatsink, and a pressing part that is moveable to press the elevating part so as to press the heatsink against the electrical component. While the heatsink is pressed against the electrical component, the electrical component is fixed to the housing portion of the socket body. Accordingly, it is possible to make the heatsink perform heat dissipation for the electrical component. Thus, it is possible to obtain excellent heat dissipation effect with respect to the electrical component.

  • Patent number: 9755387
    Abstract: A socket for electrical component capable of pressing and fixing an electrical component. A pressing part includes a first cam rotatably supported by the body part, and a second cam supported by the first cam. An elevating part includes a cam locking part provided on a rotational orbit of the second cam. A tip of the second cam is formed such that the tip of the second cam passes over the cam locking part when the elevating part is moved down by making the tip of the second cam abut against the elevating part and rotate, and the tip of the second cam is locked by the cam locking part so as to prevent the rotation when an attempt is made to perform the rotation in the opposite direction. The rotation in the opposite direction is enabled by moving the second cam in the radial direction of the rotation.
