The fitting from manufacturer Vossloh-Schwabe, type 101781, is an insert fitting for compact fluorescent lamps with the G13 socket type. It serves as a mechanical and electrical connection point for the lamp within the luminaire body and is directly pushed onto the lamp. The fitting is designed for use in luminaires equipped with compact fluorescent lamps and enables secure and reliable mounting of the lamp in the housing.

Fittings for compact fluorescent lamps are commonly used in lighting technology to secure lamps in luminaires and ensure a reliable electrical contact. Fitting 101781 is specifically designed for lamps with the G13 socket, a standard for compact fluorescent tubes that ensures a secure connection. The T 12 (38 mm) version refers to the hole diameter intended for mounting in corresponding luminaires.

Insert fittings are generally intended for direct mounting into the luminaire housing. Fitting 101781 is secured using an M3 screw, which is screwed into the designated hole in the luminaire body. The hole diameter of 38 mm corresponds to the T 12 version, enabling standardized mounting in luminaires designed for this diameter.

Technology explained clearly – The fitting is made from a thermally resistant material that meets the operating temperature class KZ T 110 (Class Z, temperature class 110 °C). This means the fitting remains stable at operating temperatures up to 110 °C, with no risk of thermal deformation or material failure. The temperature class is crucial for the safety and service life of the fitting during operation, especially in luminaires that are operated continuously.

Compatibility and accessories – The fitting is specifically designed for compact fluorescent lamps with a G13 socket. It is not suitable for other lamp types such as LED lamps or incandescent lamps, unless these also feature a G13 socket. The fitting is used in luminaires designed for compact fluorescent lamps and is part of the electrical and mechanical connection between the lamp and the luminaire body.

Mounting and installation – Installation is performed by pushing the fitting onto the lamp and then screwing the M3 screw into the designated hole in the luminaire body. The hole must have a diameter of 38 mm to securely fasten the fitting. The fitting is designed for fixed mounting to ensure a secure electrical connection and mechanical stability.

Advantages in operation – The fitting provides a reliable and secure connection for compact fluorescent lamps. The insert fitting allows for easy mounting and removal of the lamp, which is advantageous during maintenance or replacement. The thermal resistance up to 110 °C ensures a long service life and safe operating conditions, even with continuous use in luminaires.

The fitting is available in white finish, enabling visual integration into many luminaire bodies. However, the color does not affect the electrical or mechanical properties of the fitting.
