    Abstract: In a fixation structure for fixing a lamp on a printed circuit board (PCB), a connection end of the lamp is received within a connection hole of the PCB and a sleeve having approximately cone shape is disposed between the lamp and the PCB. When the connection end of the lamp is continuously inserted into the connection hole of the PCB, a contact area between the connection end and the connection hole is increased, thereby effectively enhancing a contact-and-on performance of the lamp and the PCB. Sleeves may be located on lamps leads or alternatively placed in the connection hole of the PCB.
