ABSTRACT:
This invention aims to prevent terminal metal fixtures in an L-shaped bulb socket from being exposed and to positively hold the fixtures. Each terminal metal fixture (metal terminal) 1 is inserted into a fixture accommodating chamber 15 in an axial direction of a connector inlet port 9 through a fixture insertion opening 17 formed in a rear wall of a housing 7 while a male terminal 5 of the fixture 1 is being fitted to a through-hole 14 formed in a fixture holding wall 13. Then, a lid member 19 is thrusted in the opening 17 in an axial direction of a bulb inlet port 8 on a thrust groove 21 formed in an end face of the bulb inlet port 8. Thus, the opening 17 is covered by the lid member 19. A side plate 4 of clamp portions 2 of each terminal metal fixture 1 is clamped in a space between a stepped face 24 on the housing 7 and the lid member 19, thereby preventing the fixture 1 from moving vertically or horizontally. Also, the male terminal 5 is closely fitted in the through-hole 14, thereby preventing the fixture 1 from moving.
