ABSTRACT:
A bulb socket that avoids the various disadvantages caused by insert molding of a terminal of a complicated shape and also satisfies characteristics required for different portions of the terminal. A housing body is made of a plastic material and includes a socket housing for receiving a base portion of a bulb and a connector housing for receiving a feeder connector. Each connector-side terminal is of a generally L-shape and has a connector tab portion and a relay tab portion extending perpendicularly from this connector tab portion. Bulb-side terminals are provided in the socket housing at corner portions thereof in opposed relation to each other and function to mechanically hold the base portion of the bulb, and also function to electrically contact lead wires on the base portion, respectively. This bulb-side terminal has a relay terminal portion formed at a lower end thereof, which portion can be press-fitted on the relay tab portion of the connector-side terminal.
