Abstract

An electrical contact for a lamp having at least one electrical jack employed in conjunction with lamp housing and an electrical conductor. The contact includes a body element possessing a first end portion, second end portion, and an intermediate turned or bent portion. The body element is constructed of flexible conductive material to permit bending of the first and second end portions relative to one another. A pair of flexible flanges extend from the first portion and serve to form a channel and to contact the lamp electrical jack. The flanges include at least one edge portion capable of scrapping the lamp electrical jack. The electrical conductor connects to the second end portion of the body element which is held to the lamp housing.
