A lamp holder has a socket housing forming a seat centered on an axis, and a contact fitted to the seat and formed unitarily with a pair of opposite generally axially extending sides flanking the axis. A front finger extending generally axially from one of the sides has a pair of opposite edges and therebetween a face directed radially toward the axis and pressing the lamp contact pin transversely of the axis against the other side. A back finger extending from the other side offset laterally from the front finger has an outer edge juxtaposed with the one side. The conductive core is pinched between the outer edge and the one side laterally adjacent the front finger and bears laterally against one of the edges of the front finger.

Lamp-socket contact

A lamp holder has a contact spring which, instead of being bent into a U-shape and having its barb on the bracing shank opposite the retaining shank, has a bracing barb or lug bent out of the retaining shank itself and engageable as an indexing member behind a projection formed on the lamp housing.
