ABSTRACT:
A lamp socket includes a housing in the form of an elastomeric grommet that passes through a round hole of a panel to mount the lamp socket to the panel. The grommet has a head at one end that has an outer diameter that exceeds the diameter of the hole and engages the back side of the panel when the head is inserted through the hole. The outer portion of the head consists of a plurality of thick oblique ribs that fold inwardly to reduce the outer diameter of the head responsive to twisting movement of the head in the hole so that a relatively low engage force passes the head through the hole. The grommet further includes a conical shoulder which sealingly engages the front side of the panel and clamps the lamp socket in place.
