Abstract
A connector socket adapted to be retained in an opening of a printed circuit board to receive a contact pin or the like, has a tubular body portion receivable in the circuit board opening, and has an external shoulder that acts as a stop during the inserting movement. The body portion contains a spring contactor for engagement with any suitable contact pin. For retaining the connector socket securely in the circuit board, it has at least one external resilient spring retainer finger but preferably two fingers which extend lengthwise of the tubular body and engage the circuit board at the opening thereof. The retainer fingers are movable independently of the body, but are formed integrally therewith. The connector socket is constituted as an economical-to-produce metal stamping, which can have very close tolerances, and the body portion has external recesses in which the extremities of the spring fingers are nested, such extremities being inwardly bent to eliminate their interfering with the insertion of the body in the board.
