Abstract
A capped electric lamp has a light-transmitting lamp vessel accommodating an electrical element and a lamp cap provided with a projecting contact pin (). An indentation () is formed in the contact pin () to fix the current-supply conductor (). According to the invention, the indentation () comprises a weakening portion () for weakening the current-supply conductor () during the manufacture of the electric lamp and comprises a fixation portion () for fixing the current-supply conductor () in the contact pin (), wherein said weakening and fixation portion are substantially parallel to each other. Preferably, the indentation () comprises a narrow portion () between the weakening portion () and the fixation portion () which is relatively narrow compared with the weakening portion () and the fixation portion ().
