Abstract

A visual indicator lamp support is provided comprising an elongate insulating body having a front face and a rear face substantially perpendicular to its longitudinal dimension and forming, at its front face, jaws for insertion of the indicator lamp, a bearing surface inside said body cooperating with the rear face of the indicator lamp, holes through which the wires thereof extend formed through said body and means for securing to a printed circuit card, wherein said body forms a reference surface perpendicular to said rear face and joined thereto by a re-entrant surface adapted for freeing a portion of said wires and shaped so that bending back of said body from a first position in which its rear face is in abutment against the card and plays the role of spacer defining a pre-determined distance between said rear face of the indicator lamp and the surface of the printed circuit for soldering said wires to a second position in which said reference surface is in abutment against the card, results in causing pre-determined bending of said wires.
