CAPS FOR TUNGSTEN FILAMENT
GENERAL SERVICE ELECTRIC LAMPS

0. FOREWORD
8.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 16 July 1979, after the draft finalized by the Electric
Lamps and Accessories Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.

0.2 This standard has been prepared to cover dimensions of Bayonet Caps e
B22 and Screw Caps E27 and E40 for tungsten filament general service
electric lamps covered by IS : 418-1978*.

0.3 The designation and dimensions of the caps to be fitted to the lamps
are the same as those recommended in IEC Publication No. 61-1 ( 1972 )
‘Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchan-
geability and safety: Part I Lamp caps’, published by International
Electrotechnical Commission.

0.4 For the purpose.of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the dimensions of B-22125 x 26, E-27127, E-27130,
E-40/41 and E-40/45 caps for tungsten filament general service electric
lamps.

*Specification for tungsten filament general service electric lamps ( thirdr&ion ).

2. DIMENSIONS
2.1 The dimensions of the caps shall comply with the appropriate tables
as specified below:

a) B-22/25 x 26 Table 1
b) E-27127 and 27130 Table 2
c) E-40/41 and 40145 Table 3

NOTE- The letter indicates the cap construction with the following code:

a) B - means bayonet, and

b) E- means screw thread.

The drawings are intended only to indicate the dimensions to be controlled.

B-22125 x 26

All dimensions in millimctres.

NOTE 1 - Caps may be made with a flare * the diameter of which shall be not
more than 1 mm greater than the maximum permissible diameter of the corrcspond-
ing cap without a flare.

NOTE 2 - For finished lamps, the creepage distance over insulation shall be not
less than 3 mm between live parts and not less than 2’5 mm between live parts and
the metal shell.

*These dimensions are solely for cap design and are not to be gauged on the
finished lamp.

Purpose : For the control of dimensions A Max, N Min, D Min, D, Max and the diametrical position of the pins.
Testing :. The cap shall enter the gauge until the pins have passed through the slots Q. The cap is then turned through
a small angle and is pressed so that the pins are in close contact with surface S. In this position, the contact
making sllrface shall not be below surface X or shall it project beyond the surface 5. Dimension N of the
guage tests the diameter of the cap for a sufficient length to ensure interchangeability of the caps in the holders.

‘3. INSULATION RESISTANCE OF THE CAPS
3.1 The insulation resistance measured between the contacts and each of
the contacts and shell of the cap shall be not less than 50 megohms. Insu-
lation resistance shall be measured with 500 V dc applied for a period of
one minute.
3.2 If the insulation resistance value isbelow the requirements of 3.1, then

‘NOTE -The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Bureau of Indian Standards Act 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made
thereunder. The Standard Mark on products covered by an lndian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the require-
ments of that standard under .a well defined system of inspection, testing and
quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the
producer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for
conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under
which a licence for the use of the St$ndard Mark may be granted to manu-
facturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.’
