Abstract (en)

[origin: US6946782B1] A connector system for a rod-shaped two-ended gas discharge lamp ( 12 ) with bases ( 20 ) disposed on the connector ends ( 16 ) of the discharge lamp ( 12 ) and with insert sockets ( 22 ) for receiving the bases ( 20 ) in a lamp housing ( 14 ). Each base ( 20 ) is provided with a contact pin ( 26 ) linked with a lamp electrode ( 36 ) with an insulating cylinder ( 28 ) surrounding the contact pin ( 26 ) while leaving a lateral connector opening ( 46 ) free. Each insert socket ( 22 ) is provided with a contact element ( 58 ) that can be detachably engaged with the corresponding contact pin ( 26 ) through the connector opening ( 46 ) of the pertaining base ( 20 ) and can be impinged upon with a high voltage. The insert socket is further provided with an insulating body ( 60 ) that carries the contact element ( 58 ) and covers the connector opening ( 46 ) in the connected state.
