Abstract
A mechanical electrical connector for an electric lamp lead is disclosed. The connector is formed as a single piece from sheet metal and includes an electrical contact against which the lamp lead is pinched by an approximately perpendicularly extending clamp arm. The clamp arm may be further latched to lock the lead hard against the connector. The single piece connector yields an inexpensive, quickly attached, strong, and permanent mechanical support providing a secure electrical connection for an electric lamp lead.
