A connector component for a wedge-base lamp includes an electrically insulative base having an upright inverted T-shaped electrically insulated frame member which defines a central interior rectangular space for receiving a wedge-base of a lamp. The insulated frame member also has an opposed pair of lateral shoulder pockets which open into a lower portion of the central interior rectangular space. A pair of opposed bulb guides integral with the frame member are disposed substantially midway of the interior rectangular space. The opposed bulb guides each define a respective arcuate concavity for receiving a portion of the wedge-base of the lamp therein so as to provide a holder for the wedge-base lamp. The bulb guides further define a pair of lateral socket spaces within the interior rectangular space of the frame member and each have a projection member extending into the socket space. A pair of U-shaped electrically conductive clamp elements are positioned in a respective one of the lateral socket spaces. Each clamp element has (i) an attachment aperture which receives a projection member of a respective socket space to positionally restrain the clamp element therewithin, and (ii) a lateral connection piece positioned within a respective lateral shoulder pocket for connection to a bus bar.
