Abstract
The disclosure relates to a lamp socket having an improved core that facilitates assembly and improved contact of the light bulb with the terminals of the socket. The core is generally cylindrical in shape and has one or more passageways therein adapted to accept and retain complimentary spade terminals. A spring is positioned around the core in the socket housing to provide the necessary lost motion to maintain contact pressure. Locking tabs prevent separation of the core from the housing.
