The Vossloh-Schwabe mounting socket type 101784 is a G13 socket for compact fluorescent lamps, specifically designed for use with T8 tubes (diameter 26 mm). It is directly pushed onto the fluorescent lamp and serves as an electrical connection point in luminaire construction. The socket is intended for use in luminaires where the lamp is not inserted into a fixed holder, but instead connected directly to the power supply via the socket. The design enables simple installation and ensures a reliable electrical connection.

Sockets for compact fluorescent lamps are commonly used in lighting technology to install fluorescent lamps in various luminaire constructions. The G13 push-fit connection is a standard type for fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 26 mm, used in many industrial and commercial applications. Socket 101784 is specifically designed for T8 lamps, which have a diameter of 26 mm and typically a length of 1200 mm or 1500 mm.

Applications include primarily the installation in luminaires where direct attachment of the lamp to the socket is required. This is the case, for example, with luminaires having an open design or in systems where the lamp is not inserted into a permanently integrated holder. The socket is pushed onto the lamp, enabling quick and secure installation without additional holders. Typical use is in industrial, office, and commercial environments where robust and reliable lighting is required.

Functions and equipment in detail include the G13 push-fit connection, which ensures a secure electrical connection between lamp and luminaire. The socket is designed for an operating temperature of KZ T 110, meaning it is suitable for operating temperatures up to 110 °C. This is important to ensure the socket remains stable even under increased thermal load, such as during prolonged operation or in enclosed luminaires. The socket is white and made of a thermoplastic material suitable for use in lighting systems.

Technology explained simply shows that the G13 push-fit connection is a two-pole connection installed at both ends of the fluorescent lamp. The socket is pushed onto the lamp, connecting the lamp’s electrical contacts with the socket’s contacts. The socket then transfers the electrical voltage from the luminaire to the lamp. The design ensures a secure and durable connection without requiring additional holders or fastening elements.

Compatibility and accessories include use with T8 fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 26 mm. The socket is specifically designed for this lamp type and ensures a secure and reliable connection. The socket is intended for use in luminaires that support a G13 push-fit connection.

Mounting and installation is done by pushing the socket onto the fluorescent lamp. The socket is attached at both ends of the lamp, establishing the electrical connection. The socket is designed to ensure a secure and durable connection without requiring additional fastening elements. Installation typically requires no tools, as the socket is simply pushed onto the lamp.

Advantages in operation include simple and quick installation without additional holders or tools. The socket ensures a reliable electrical connection that remains stable even under increased thermal load. Using the socket reduces the number of components required in luminaire construction and simplifies installation. The socket is suitable for luminaires with T8 lamps and provides a robust and reliable solution for connecting the lamp to the luminaire.
