Prototype G20 (T17) Lampholder
|
Still sorta a work in progress at the moment but here's a prototype of a reproduction G20 mogul bipin lampholder that's used with T17 fluorescent lamps. The design is based heavily off the GE one I already had. I made some assumptions about how the interior was since I didn't want to take apart the GE lampholder as the cardboard back is held on tightly by 4 press in pins. I still need to do some minor tweaks to finalize the design. I have the inside contacts designed to but I haven't made a prototype of those yet, the same applies to the mounting bracket that the real ones used.
The prototype is 3D printed using PLA, I do not recommend actually using a PLA print in actual service as PLA has a fairly low melting point and issues with fire retardance to be safe for use with a actual lamp. ABS has a slightly higher melting point but has issues with flammability.
