ABSTRACT:
A lamp socket assembly including a housing, a contact insert, and a body. The contact insert is captured in a cavity of the housing by the body. The body is welded to the housing. Lugs on the body secure the assembly to a panel. Contacts are retained in the contact insert by engagement of U-shaped portions thereof in slots of the contact insert. Blade terminals are inserted through the contacts and contact insert to interlock the terminals with the contacts and contact insert. The blade terminals include a U-shaped portion whereby the interlocking end of the terminals define one leg of the U-shaped portion. A second end of the blade terminal extends at right angles to the interlocking end of the blade terminal and extends axially away from the body whereby a socket connector may be axially connected to the housing. The socket connector includes locking fingers for securing the socket connector to the housing. The locking fingers include lead-in portions to guide the locking fingers toward projections on the housing which engage the locking fingers.
