ABSTRACT:
A plurality of passages extend through an insulated body from one end to the other. Each passage has first and second sections separated by a protrusion forming a restriction in the passage. A conductive terminal is disposed in each passage. The terminal has a first channel with a U-shaped cross-section adapted to receive a circline lamp plug pin in the first section of the passage, a second channel with a U-shaped cross-section adapted to make a poke home connection with a wire in the second section of the passage, and a strip connecting the first and second channels across the restriction of the protrusion. The protrusions retain the terminals in their respective passages by limiting longitudinal movement of the sides of the channels. To make a poke home connection, the center of the second channel has a flap extending across the second section of the passage inclined in the direction of the first channel so a wire inserted in the second channel is wedged between the flap and the surface of the passage. Preferably, the housing is doglegged and the sections of the passage join at an obtuse angle matching the dogleg.
