Abstract
Each terminal () of a bulb socket () has a power-supplying tab () and a bulb connecting portion () that are integral with one another. The bulb connecting portion () is on an extension of the power-supplying tab () extending along an inserting direction into a connector accommodating portion (). Thus, the bulb socket () is reduced in height, the number of assembling steps is reduced, and the deformation of the terminals can be avoided. Further, a reduction in the number of parts leads to reduced production costs.
