ABSTRACT:
A low profile socket assembly is provided for use with a wedge base type lamp bulb that has a reduced number of parts while providing uniform and reliable electrical contact. The socket assembly includes a housing having a socket adapted to receive the lamp bulb base, and a pair of substantially cylindrical barrel terminals. The barrel terminals are uniformly radially inwardly compressible without substantial resistance, and receivable within the housing so as to present a uniform contact surface through the walls of the housing socket regardless of the orientation of the terminals. The terminals are thereby uniformly compressible between the filament contact wires and the inner surfaces of the terminal passages by the opposed sides of the lamp bulb base when the lamp bulb base is received into the socket, thereby making uniform and reliable electrical contact with the lamp bulb.
