Abstract
A holder for one end of a bi-pin fluorescent lamp has slots for slidably receiving the pins. The pins abut and then move electrical contacts against spring bias thereon as the received pins move in the slots. After sufficient movement of the pins and contacts, a slide is moved by a spring to block reverse movement of the pins and contacts. Rotation of a lever on the holder reversely moves the slide to permit the contacts to eject the pins from the slots.
