ABSTRACT:
A bulb socket for holding a bulb having wedge-shaped contact portions comprises (a) a socket housing (E) composed of a bulb holding portion (E1) and a connector holding portion (E2) formed integral with each other; and (b) two socket terminals (F) each composed of a bulb contact portion (F1) with a roughly rectangular base plate portion (1) and a pair of opposing extensional side walls (5) bent at both sides of and perpendicular to the base plate portion (1) so as to form a pair of opposing inwardly bent convex contact portions (3) at each free end of each extensional side wall (5), respectively; and a connector contact portion (F2) formed integral with the bulb contact portion (F1). Since the bulb contact portions (3) of the terminal can be formed by simply bending the extensional side walls (5) inwardly, respectively and further these bulb contact portions (F1) can be protected by an outer end (4) of the terminal base plate portion (1), the socket terminal (F) can be simplified in structure and therefore reduced in insertion molding cost by using a simple molding die including a simple core.
