ABSTRACT:
A terminal formed by bending from a single metal piece for use in a bulb socket having a bulb insertion opening for accommodating a bulb, where the terminal is used for connecting with a base electrode formed in the outer perimeter of the bulb includes a contact element. The contact element is formed by stamping the metal piece to have a contact portion and a spring portion for resiliently hold the contact portion in contact with the base electrode. The spring portion is located on a position away from the base electrode when the bulb is inserted in the bulb insertion opening. Therefore, the spring porion of the contact element is kept from deterioration of spring characteristics caused by the heat from the bulb.
