Abstract: A lamp socket provided with resilient pawls spaced about its periphery, and a resilient member acting against the central stud. The pawls retract with the passage of a lamp into the socket and once the lamp is inserted, the pawls and resilient member apply pressure against the sides and bottom of the base to hold the lamp in place. Electrical contact is established through the pawls on the periphery of the lamp base and by the resilient member acting on the central stud.
