ABSTRACT:
A press-contact connector assembly for a socket joint of a lighting fixture includes a press-contact electrode including a box-shaped body, a press-contact blade on one end of the box-shaped body, the press-contact blade having two opposed press-contact portions which extend away from the box-shaped body and form an axial slot therebetween for receiving a cable, and a power supply terminal on the other end of the box-shaped body. The assembly further includes a casing having a hood for receiving a lighting fixture electrode, a cylindrical portion for holding the press-contact electrode so that the power supply terminal contacts with the lighting fixture electrode in the hood, and a guide portion for defining a guide path to introduce the cable into the axial slot of the press-contact blade. The guide portion includes an notch at an upper portion of the cylindrical portion and which forms an inlet into which the cable is introduced, and slant portions formed on opposite sides of the inlet of the notch, the slant portions serving to guide the cable into the axial slot and to retain the cable therein.
