ABSTRACT:
An electrical mounting connector for a bi-pin fluorescent bulb has a lamp holder with two terminals and a cap with two pin guiding openings that snaps into the lamp holder such that two pins held in the two pin guiding openings will be held in contact with the two pin-shaped over a substantial portion of the pins along a parallel length of the pins. An alignment marking is provided on the lamp holder and a visual inspection point (such as a hole) is provided on the cap that compliment one another to provide a visual indication of when the lamp holder and the cap are properly assembled together. A drain is formed by one or more slots in the lamp holder to drain a space between the lamp holder and the cap accessed through pin guiding openings when the lamp holder and the cap are properly assembled together. A bi-pin fluorescent bulb is mounted to two lamp holders by inserting the pins of each of its ends into a cap to form an assembly and then sliding the assembly into the two lamp holders so that each pin comes into contact with a terminal in a direction parallel to the bi-pin fluorescent bulb.
