Abstract
An electric lamp socket includes first and second parts which are adapted to be fitted and locked together. The first part has at least one wire-receiving surface and the second part has a wire-contact metal terminal. A method of connecting the electric lamp socket and at least one electric wire includes the steps of removably locating the first part of the electric lamp socket at a predetermined position on a jig defining a planar wire-laying path, such that the wire receiving surface lies in the planar wire-laying path, laying the wire along the wire-laying path and on the wirereceiving surface, fitting and locking the second part of the electric lamp socket to the first part thereof so that the wire-contact metal terminal engages the wire laid on the wire-receiving surface so as to make electrical connection therewith, and removing the electric lamp socket and the wire connected thereto from the jig.
