Abstract

Abstract A socket for a light emitting diode display which includes a case (1); a pair of contact terminals (2, 3) provided within the case and each having a contact portion for contact with a connecton terminal of a mating connector and a resistor contact portion; a pair of lead terminals (4, 5) provided within the case and each having a lead contact portion and a resistor contact portion; and a pair of resistors (6, 7) provided within the case so that each resistors is connected between a resistor contact portion of one of the contact terminal and a resistor contact portion of one of the lead terminal.
