POTTED LAMP SOCKET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006086890
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A lamp and socket assembly (100) includes a lamp assembly (120) including a lamp holder (162) having an end panel (164, 166, 464, 466), and a housing having a lamp side (126, 426) and a wire side (128, 428). The lamp side includes a lamp receptacle (200, 500). The lamp holder is received in the lamp receptacle. A channel (202, 204, 502, 504) is formed in the lamp receptacle. The channel includes opposed side walls (218, 518), and each side wall has an engagement surface (240, 526). The engagement surfaces engage side edges of the end panel to retain the lamp assembly in the lamp receptacle. A method for sealing the wiring cavity (266, 440) in a lamp socket includes fabricating the lamp socket with a passageway (258, 558) between the wiring cavity and the lamp side of the socket housing, positioning the socket housing on a non-adhering surface (300) with the lamp side facing upward such that the wiring cavity is blocked by the non- adhering surface, introducing a potting compound into the wiring cavity from the lamp side of the socket housing through the passageway, and removing the socket housing from the non-adhering surface after the potting compound has hardened.
