ABSTRACT:
A lamp socket adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board or other support member. The lamp socket comprises a non-conducting housing having a first contact member captured in cooperative relationship therewith such that one part of the contact member is positioned to make electrical contact with one terminal of a lamp inserted in the socket. The first contact member includes a second part for projecting through an opening in the base of the socket for making an external electrical connection therewith. A second contact member is captured in cooperative relationship with the housing and includes one part that is positioned to make contact with another terminal of a lamp inserted in the socket. The second contact member includes a second part for projecting through an opening in the base of the socket for making an external electrical connection therewith. One of said contact members is captured by a latch member formed as a part of said housing. By simple modification the housing could be modified for panel mounting and electrical connection by wire wrap techniques. By appropriate formation a part of one contact member may be configured to retain the socket on a printed circuit board prior to the soldering thereof.
