ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making an electrical connection from an electrical component to a current carrying device, such as from a lamp or heating element to blade-type power electrodes, includes first and second electrodes positioned a fixed distance apart, an electrical component having first and second leads and being configured to be slidably inserted between the blade electrodes so that the leads engage the electrodes to couple the electrical component thereto, and insulating material for encapsulating a portion of the plug and at least a portion of the electrical component to secure the component to the plug. The first and second electrodes are fixed a predetermined distance apart. The conductive leads of the electrical component are inserted between the first and second electrodes such that the respective leads engage each of the electrodes. At least portions of the electrodes and the component are then encapsulated with an insulated material to secure the electrical component to the electrodes. The apparatus and method is particularly well-suited for connecting a component such as a small lamp between blade electrodes which are spaced to be received by a common electrical outlet.
