Halogen incandescent lamp and socket combination, particularly for direct assembly into a fixture with bayonet lock

摘要

To permit insertion of a lamp-socket combination into a fixture which includes a plate-like portion (P), for example a printed circuit board, a plastic socket (2) is provided which is formed with a recess (6), preferably a through-bore, into which two separating walls (8) extend, which are resiliently outwardly deflectable and have inwardly extending locating ridges (9) which can, after deflection radially outwardly upon insertion of the lamp (1), snap back against the base (4) of the lamp to engage over locating projections (5) formed on the base of the lamp. Terminal strips (7) are inserted in the base at the opposite sides of the separating walls (8), which defines chords of the cylindrical opening (6), the opening providing access for weld-connection of the electrical terminal leads (3) from the lamp to the terminal strips (7).
