Abstract
An improved socket, particularly for a fluorescent lamp, includes a base, a casing which has guide passages for inserting therein the contact pins of the lamp, holes adjacent to the guide passages and communicating therewith. The holes receive power terminals, which are maintained in a desired position by a spring. The base and the casing are integrally connected to one another by a web which permits the casing to tilt relative to the base within a limited tilting range.
