ABSTRACT:
A wedge-base lamp socket comprises a socket body having a lamp holder for holding a wedge-base lamp. The lamp holder includes an outside wall, a pair of opposite receiving portions disposed inside the outside wall and opposed inside walls diametrically extending between the receiving portions. The inside walls define an elongated channel therebetween for receiving a wedge base of a lamp. The opposed inside walls include a pair of opposed recesses adjacent to each of the receiving portions each including a guide groove therein. A pair of terminals are oppositely mounted in the lamp holder. Each terminal has a bracket part received in a respective one of the receiving portions and a pair of clamp arms connected to the bracket part. The clamp arms extend upwardly along both sides of the bracket part and are adapted for clamping the wedge base of the lamp. Each clamp arm is received within a respective recess in the pair of opposed recesses and includes a protrusion on an outer surface of the clamp arm for reception in the guide groove.
