lamp or fixture.
 Light bulb sockets are normally defined by a letter-number-
letter (Third Letter is optional).
 The first letter indicates the shape of the base.
 The Second numbers indicates either the width of the base
or the distance between the pins.
 The Third Letter indicates the number of pins or contacts on
the lamp. The numbers are normally in millimeters.
 Bayonet Cap Base (B)
 Edison Screw Cap Base (E)
 Single Pin Type Base (F)
 Bi Pin or Multi Pin Type (G)
 Cable Connections (K)
 Pre- focused Light Base (P)
 Recessed Contact Base (R)
 Flange Base Light Bulb Base (F or T)
 Slide Base (S)
 Wedge Base (W)
 Special Type Light bulb Base (X)
 Type of Connection: “push and twist” action
 Pin Configuration: (Bxx or BCxx):
 The First letter indicates the shape or Style of the base.
 The Second number indicates the width of the base
(normally in millimeters).
 Example:
 The “B” refers to the style of Base which is a Bayonet, and
the 22 means it has a 22 mm base width.
 Application: All Regular type of Bulbs including specialist
low voltage halogen lamps
 Named as inventor Thomas Edison, the Edison Screw or “ES” lamp
fitting is used in a vast range of applications.
 Type of Connection: “Screw” Action
 Pin Configuration: (Exx or ESxx):
 The First letter indicates the shape or Style of the base.
 The Second number indicates the width of the base (normally in
millimeters).
 Example: E26 base.
 The “E” refers to the style which is an Edison screw-in, and the 26
means it has a 26 mm base width.
 Application: Large chandeliers Some Decorative Lamps.
 The most commonly used screw fittings are shown in the table below.
Other, less frequently used, sizes include E11, E17 and E26.
 The “G” type of lamp base is used to as a “pinned” base. This may be several Numbers of different Types of pins.
 Type of Connection: “Pin” Type
 Pin Configuration: (G(U,X,Y,Z) -xx-x-x):
 It is indicate by Letter (or Letters)-Numbers-Optional letter- Letter:
 The first letters includes “G” which is followed by a Second (optional Letter) Letter U, X, Y or Z.
 The second letter (U, X, Y,Z) represents the configuration of the base, which determines the diameter and shape of
the pins. For example, pins may be rounded, square, grooved, fat or slender.
 Without any Optional Letter = Base length is 8.25mm and Pin Diameter is 0.7mm
 For Y=Base length is >6mm and Pin Diameter is 0.7mm
 For X= Base length is <7.5mm and Pin Diameter is 1mm
 For U= Base length is >6mm and Pin Diameter is 1mm With One or Two Grip channel.
 For Z=P Base length is >6mm and Pin Diameter is 1mm without Grip Channel.
 The Third number indicates the Distance in millimeters between the centers of each pin.
 The Fourth (optional Letter) Letter indicate the number of pins, no letter means 2 pins. d for double Pin ,s for Single pin,
t for Triple pin or 3 pins and q for Quadruple pin or 4 pins.
 The Fifth Letter indicates position of Dowel (Slot) in Socket
 Examples: GU10 base type, GU24q 2Pin base type, G13d 3pin.
 For GU24q 2 Socket, U=Pin length is>6mm with diameter 1mm with Grip channel, No of Pin is 4 no’s and Dowel is on
Left Side
 Application: Halogen, Compact Fluorescent ,LED Types Bulbs
Difference between G24q-1, G24q-2, G24q-3 Type Socket
 Here G=Type/ Shape of Socket
 24=Distance between each Pin
 q= Quadruple (Four) Pin.
 1=Indicate Dowel (Slot) Position ,1=Middle, 2=Left, 3=Right
