1. A socket, comprising:
a first insulator in a form of a frame;
a second insulator that is disposed within the first insulator in a manner so as to be movable relative to the first insulator; and
contacts each including a support portion supported by the first insulator, the contacts being disposed within the second insulator, wherein
the contacts each include
an elastic portion linked to the support portion and located between the support portion and the second insulator,
a movable portion that is farther than the elastic portion from a periphery of the second insulator and is movable relative to the second insulator, and
a contacting portion for contact with a connection object,
wherein the second insulator includes an accommodating portion protruding toward the first insulator in a direction orthogonal to a direction of fit between the connection object and the socket, the accommodating portion and the first insulator face each other in the direction of fit, and a tip of the elastic portion in the direction of fit is located within the accommodating portion in the direction of fit,
wherein the second insulator includes at least one protrusion protruding outward from the accommodating portion in a direction orthogonal to the direction of fit, and
wherein the at least one protrusion comprises a plurality of protrusions arranged along the accommodating portion, and the mounting portions of the contacts are each located between adjacent ones of the protrusions when viewed in plan in the direction of fit.
