Abstract:
    An electric lamp includes a lamp cap (15) having an insulative body (17) of synthetic material with a bore (46) therein. A lamp cap contact (19) includes a rigid shank (23) received in the bore (46) of the insulative body. The diameters of the bore and shank and the elasticity of the bore wall (27) are selected so that a conductive lead (5) of the lamp is securely clamped between the shank (23) and the bore wall (27) when the shank is fully received in the bore (46). In a favourable embodiment, the lead (5) has a free end (5c) extending in the direction of insertion of the shank (23) into the bore, so as to avoid the lead wire (5) from being pushed out of the bore.
