Capped electric lamp for operation at mains voltage and lamp cap unit for use therein

A capped electric lamp for operation at mains voltage, comprising:

• a lamp vessel which is vacuum sealed and has an end portion (2) which is fused to a stem (3) which projects into the lamp vessel and surrounds an exhaust tube (4);
• an electric element in the lamp vessel connected to at least two current supply conductors (6) which extend from the lamp vessel alongside the exhaust tube;
• a lamp cap (10) comprising a shell (20) and an insulator body (30), the shell having an axis (21), a first end (22) of the shell being fixed around said end portion (2) of the lamp vessel with an adhesive compound, a second end (23) of the shell being secured to the insulator body (30);
• at least two contact pins (31) fixed in the insulator body and extending to the exterior therefrom;
• the current supply conductors (6) being respectively connected to the respective contact pins (31) where said contact pins extend from the insulator body (30);
• and
• a mounting member (40) of synthetic resin, said mounting member being secured to the insulator body (30), only the contact pins (31) projecting through said mounting member to the exterior.
