Lamp socket with stabilizing features |
摘要 |
A lamp socket includes a housing having a lamp receiving side and a wire receiving side. The lamp receiving side includes a lamp receptacle configured to receive the lamp assembly when inserted in a lamp insertion direction. The wire receiving side includes a contact receptacle. A contact is mounted in the contact receptacle in the housing. The contact includes a mating end for electrically and mechanically engaging the lamp assembly. The mating end includes a first side wall and an end wall joined to one another along a bend that extends along a longitudinal axis of the contact. The longitudinal axis extends in a direction non-perpendicular to the insertion direction. The first side wall has a planar surface that extends along a vertical plane. The planar surface engages the lamp assembly continuously along a length of the planar surface in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the contact and to the lamp insertion direction. The lamp socket further includes a retainer having a first end mounted in the housing and a second end configured to engage a groove formed in the lamp holder to retain the lamp holder in the housing.
