Abstract

Providing a socket for a printed board having superior durability, doing no damage to the printed board due to contact therewith, and having a latch arm not requiring labor or time to assemble. The socket (1) for the printed board provides a housing having an insertion opening for the insertion of the printed board, a plurality of spring contacts that project from inside the insertion opening and form contact point rows along the lengthwise direction of the insertion opening, a pair of latch arms that are elastically deformable towards the outside by respectively extending from the housing at both end sides of the lengthwise direction of the insertion opening, and a pair of engagement parts (23) formed on the latch arms (21), and engaging the printed board on the latch arms by resisting the urging force of the spring contacts when the printed board is inserted into the insertion opening and rotated until parallel with the latch arms (21). In addition, the latch arms (21) are reinforced by metallic reinforcing members (31) that support the latch arms (21) form the outside.
