A molded plastic socket for a wedge base bulb has a bulb receiving cavity defined in part by resilient side walls for securely but releasably engaging the bulb base. The side walls also carry contacts connected to the socket terminals, which contacts also releasably grip the sides of the bulb base and electrically contact the wires leading to the bulb filament which are located on the outer sides of the bulb base. The bulb cavity is also defined by end walls which carry wire guides that direct the wires on the bulb into engagement with the socket contacts as the bulb is inserted into the socket cavity. |
