ABSTRACT:
A connector for a wedge-base electrical component (e.g., a wedge-base bulb) includes an electrically insulative base and an electrically insulative holder attached to the base and defining an interior socket space therewithin for receiving the wedge-base of the electrical component. A pair of U-shaped electrically conductive clamp elements is positioned in the interior socket space of the holder. The U-shaped clamps resiliently hold the wedge-base of the electrical component and establish an electrical connection therebetween. Each of the clamp elements includes a connection piece for connection to a bus bar so as to establish an electrical circuit connection with the electrical component resiliently held by the clamp elements. The insulative holder includes a pair of opposed resilient support tabs extending upwardly from the holder so as to engage the electrical component at a location above the wedge-base of the electrical component. In such a manner, lateral support is provided to the electrical component when held within the holder by the support tabs.
