Abstract:
1. A socket, comprising: an insulation housing, a conductive silicone rubber received in the insulation housing, and a conductive plate mounted to the insulation housing, the conductive plate having an end electrically connected to the conductive silicone rubber and an opposite end extending outside the insulation housing for external electrical connection, wherein the conductive silicone rubber has an exposed outside surface forming a recess for receiving and directly engaging an end of a tuber body of a light tube to resiliently support the light tube and the conductive silicone rubber forms an insertion bore extending inward from a bottom of the recess for receiving insertion of a lead pin extending from the tube body of the light tube to electrically engage the lead pin, whereby the conductive silicone rubber simultaneously electrically engage the light tube and resiliently support the light tube.
