The socket is usually provided with an opening for receiving the pin and fastening it. The pin and the socket are usually made of metal material, and the electrical connection is achieved by inserting and fitting. After the pin is inserted into the socket, the metal contact surfaces of the two are tightly bonded to form a conductive path, thereby realizing the transmission of current or signal.
