ABSTRACT:
A socket carries a lamp and is mountable into an opening of a circuit plate to make a connection between the lamp and a circuit of the circuit plate. The socket comprises a body in which electrical terminals are mounted. Wires which are joined to the lamp are connected to the electrical terminal. The electrical terminals make electrical contact with the circuit when the socket is inserted into the circuit plate. Each terminal includes a contact portion projecting forwardly from the body, and a shank portion mounted in the body. The contact portion has a through-slot therein such that the contact portion presents two relatively movable contact surfaces on opposite sides of the slot. The shank portion includes two slots for receiving and tightly gripping the wire.
