To provide an electric socket that has an excellent function of use and an appropriate contact pitch.

The electric socket (1) is used for connecting electrically a CPU to a printed-circuit board (PCB) including an insulating substrate (2). A plurality of rows of through holes (21) holding firmly a plurality of terminals (4) are provided on the above insulating substrate (2) and a cover (3) capable of sliding is fitted to the substrate. Each terminal respectively comprises a support part (41), a welding part (43), and a contact beam (42) that extends from the other end of the support part. The contact beam extends obliquely upward from the support part and stays at the position passing over the top face of the substrate, thereby, can be electrically connected to a pin corresponding to the CPU.
