Abstract
A socket for an essentially cylindrical miniature incandescent lamp for contacting mounting on a printed circuit board, with contact elements which lead into the bottom surface and which are intended to lie against the opposite contact surfaces of the printed circuit board and which can be connected with the lamp wires so as to make electrical contact. The socket is provided with a recess which extends at least as far as the vicinity of the lower, essentially flat bottom surface, for the parallel accommodation of the miniature incandescent lamp.
Claims26
A miniature incandescent lamp assembly for contact mounting on a printed circuit board comprising a socket having an elongate recess, a miniature incandescent cylindrical lamp disposed in said recess, said socket having a bottom adapted to be disposed juxtaposed to a printer circuit board, said recess having a longitudinal axis that is parallel to said bottom, said recess being substantially fully open on the side of said axis that is opposite said bottom for at least a part of the length of said recess, said cylindrical lamp having an axis parallel to said bottom, electrical contact means extending from said lamp, and mounting means mounting said contact means on said socket such that a part of said contact means extends along a part of said bottom of said socket for contact with mating contacts on said circuit board.
A miniature incandescent lamp assembly for contact mounting on a printed circuit board comprising a socket having an elongate recess and a bottom, said recess having a longitudinal axis that is parallel to said bottom, a miniature incandescent cylindrical lamp disposed in said recess, said recess being substantially fully open on the side of said axis that is opposite said bottom for at least a part of the length of said recess, said recess having a depth in the direction normal to said longitudinal axis that is less than the radius of said lamp, said cylindrical lamp having an axis parallel to said bottom, electrical contact means extending from said lamp, said socket having aperture means, said contact means extending through said aperture means on said socket from said lamp and being directed therefrom along said part of said bottom of said socket for contact with mating contacts on said circuit board.
