The Vossloh-Schwabe socket type 102050 is an E27 thermoplastic socket, designed for the safe and durable fixation of incandescent lamps with E27 base in electrical luminaires and lighting systems. The socket consists of an external threaded sleeve and is finished in black, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in indoor and outdoor environments. It features a nipple thread M10 x 1, enabling secure mounting in corresponding enclosures or lamp sockets. The thermoplastic construction ensures high heat resistance and mechanical stability, even under thermal stress from the lamp.

Socket type and E27 base are the central features of this component. The E27 designation refers to the standard base with a diameter of 27 mm, widely used in numerous luminaires and lamps worldwide. The socket is therefore compatible with all incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and LED lamps featuring this base type. The sleeve terminals ensure a secure electrical connection between the lamp and the luminaire cable, guaranteeing reliable current flow.

Technical features such as the rating 4/250 refer to the electrical load capacity of the socket. The value 4/250 indicates that the socket is rated for a current of up to 4 amperes and a voltage of up to 250 volts. This covers most applications in domestic and commercial lighting. The use of sleeve terminals ensures stable and correct contact, minimizing the risk of sparking or contact loss.

Compatibility and accessories include all luminaires featuring an E27 base and equipped with an M10 x 1 thread for socket mounting. The socket is particularly suitable for use in industrial luminaires, outdoor lighting, or in construction lighting applications where a robust and weather-resistant socket is required. The black lacquered surface blends visually into many technical and industrial environments.

Mounting and installation are performed via the integrated nipple thread M10 x 1, which is screwed into corresponding holes or threaded inserts in the luminaire housing. The socket is thus easy to install and provides a secure fixation that remains stable even under vibration or mechanical stress. The thermoplastic construction also ensures high insulation capability, enhancing operational safety.

Operational advantages lie in the combination of mechanical stability, electrical reliability, and heat resistance. The socket prevents loose contacts and ensures constant current flow, increasing the lamp’s lifespan and the overall safety of the luminaire. The black finish is also resistant to UV radiation and atmospheric influences, making it suitable for outdoor use.

The socket is supplied as a single unit and is intended exclusively for the fixation and electrical connection of E27 lamps. The description refers solely to the socket itself, typically used in larger quantities for luminaire assembly or replacement purposes.

The socket is widely used in the construction industry, facility management, and electrical installation, where a standardized, safe, and low-maintenance solution for lamp fixation is required. The use of thermoplastic ensures long service life and low maintenance costs, as corrosion or material fatigue does not occur.
