A method for manufacturing a high-pressure discharge lamp comprising a burner including first and second electrical poles, a holder having a holding part, a pin, first and second socket parts each including an axial opening and a plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of corresponding cavities between the protrusions forming insulating gaps for providing a voltage resistance in axial and radial directions of the burner, the method comprising acts of:
- aligning the burner with respect to holder;
- fixing the burner to the holder;
- positioning the first socket part with respect to the older such, that he first socket part receives a part of the burner;
- fixing the first socket part to the burner;
- and
- connecting the first electrical pole to the pin through the axial opening;
- interconnecting the first and second socket parts such that the plurality of cavities between the interconnected protrusions of one the first and second socket parts accepting the protrusions of another of the first and second socket parts and the insulating gap provides voltage resistance in radial and axial directions of the burner.
