The fitting 101674 from Vossloh-Schwabe is an installation fitting for compact fluorescent lamps with the socket type G13. It serves as an electrical connection point for T-lamps with diameters of 26 mm and 38 mm and is specifically designed for use in luminaire constructions where a secure and reliable electrical contact is required. The fitting is white lacquered and allows integrated mounting in luminaire housings, with the through-holes secured using M3 screws. Due to the absence of a starter receptacle, it is suitable exclusively for lamps without an external starter, i.e., for directly connected compact fluorescent lamps.

Fittings for compact fluorescent lamps are widely used in lighting technology, as they provide a compact and energy-efficient light source. The fitting 101674 supports this technology through a robust construction suitable for industrial and commercial applications. The design with a large rotor and step support ensures a stable electrical contact, even under mechanical stress or vibrations. This is particularly important in environments where the luminaire is operated continuously or under high demands.

G 13 installation fittings are standardized and allow the use of T-lamps with a two-pole socket, where the contacts are arranged at a distance of 13 mm. The fitting 101674 is specifically designed for installation in luminaires, with mounting achieved via the designated M3 through-holes. The white surface matches visually with most luminaire constructions and is intended for indoor use.

Technology explained clearly – The fitting is designed for an operating temperature of T110, meaning it functions safely at a maximum ambient temperature of 110 °C. This is an important specification, as it defines the thermal load capacity of the fitting and ensures no overheating or malfunction occurs. The construction with a large rotor and step support guarantees reliable electrical contact, even with frequent insertion and removal of the lamp. The fitting has no starter receptacle, meaning it must only be used with lamps that have an integrated starter, as is common with modern compact fluorescent lamps.

Compatibility and accessories – The fitting is compatible with compact fluorescent lamps featuring the G13 socket type and lamp diameters of 26 mm or 38 mm. It is not suitable for lamps with other socket types or diameters. The fitting is intended for use in luminaires that have a corresponding installation opening for G13 fittings.

Mounting and installation – The fitting is inserted into the designated opening of the luminaire and secured with screws through the M3 through-holes. The electrical connection is made via the integrated terminal clamps, which are connected to the luminaire cable. Mounting does not require special tools, but the use of appropriate M3 screws is necessary to ensure secure fastening. The fitting is designed for installation in luminaires that have a corresponding hole or cutout for G13 fittings.

Advantages in operation – The fitting 101674 provides a stable and reliable electrical contact that remains intact even after frequent lamp replacements. The design without a starter receptacle reduces the number of required components and simplifies installation. The thermal load capacity up to T110 makes the fitting suitable for use in luminaires operated under elevated temperatures. The white color matches visually with most luminaire constructions and ensures a uniform appearance.
