摘要

An electric discharge lamp apparatus incorporates: a metal lead support 36 which projects over the front surface of an insulating plug 30 made of synthetic resin, which supports the leading end of an arc tube 10 and which serves as a passage for electric power arranged to be supplied to the arc tube 10; and an insulating sleeve 38 which is made of ceramics formed into a pipe shape and through which the lead support 36 is inserted, wherein a predetermined gap S2 is provided between the insulating sleeve 38 and the lead support 36. Thus, insertion of the lead support 36 into the insulating sleeve 38 can easily be performed, and a dimension error of the insulating sleeve 38 can be absorbed. Since a bent portions 36a is provided for a portion of the lead support 36 into which the insulating sleeve is inserted, the insulating sleeve 38 and the lead support 36 can hermetically integrated with each other. Thus, rattle of the insulating sleeve 38 with respect to the lead support 36 can be prevented.
