Bulb socket

摘要

A bulb socket including a socket body made from a synthetic resin and a contact member made from a conductive metal material and installed in the socket body. The socket body is integrally formed by: a socket main portion constructed by axially connecting a bulb fitting section and a power connecting section, a flange portion outwardly extended from the outer surface of the socket main portion, and engaging blocks formed on the socket main portion so as to sandwich the edge of a bulb socket mounting hole of a lighting fixture in cooperation with the flange portion. A plurality of arc-shaped slits and arc-shaped resilient contact strips are formed in the flange portion so as to extend along the outer peripheral surface of the bulb fitting section, and contact protrusions are formed on the arc-shaped resilient contact strips so as to provide resiliency with the arc-shaped resilient contact strips.
