ABSTRACT:
To permit use of a compact fluorescent lamp having a base with projecting rminal pins (9) in an ordinary standard Edison lightbulb socket, an adapter has a lightbulb thread (2) and the housing body includes a reception well (5) to receive a locating plate or plug (6) from the lamp. To relieve stresses and strains on reception terminals (11) which are electrically connected to a printed circuit board (3) within the adapter body, the reception terminals, and preferably the connecting lugs thereof, are formed with openings which are engaged by matching projections formed on the housing body, and preferably by projections extending from the wall defining the well (5) which receives the locating plate or lug (6) of the lamp. This avoids bending, and hence damage to the printed circuit board upon insertion of the lamp pins (9) in the spring contact portions (11a) of the reception terminals since assembly stresses are accepted by the housing body and not by the printed circuit board.
