ARNOLD HOUBEN HOUB 101690 Recessed G13 Lampholder for T8/T12 Fluorescent Tubes, 26/38 mm Diameter, White

Recessed G13 lampholder engineered to secure T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes with diameters of 26 mm and 38 mm in indoor luminaires. Its snap-in mounting and push-in terminals make installation fast and tool-free, while the PBT housing and phosphor bronze contacts deliver long-term reliability under continuous operation.

Advantages

The ARNOLD HOUBEN HOUB 101690 combines a compact footprint with robust electrical performance. Rated for 250 V AC and 2 A, it handles standard fluorescent loads without overheating. The UL94-V0 flammability rating and T110 temperature class ensure safe operation even in enclosed fixtures. Push-in terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.5 to 1.0 mm², eliminating the need for soldering or screw tightening. Its white PBT body blends seamlessly into most luminaire designs, and the phosphor bronze contacts resist corrosion and maintain spring force over thousands of lamp changes.
