portalámparas

A portalámparas, also known as a lamp holder or socket, is a device that is used to connect an electric lamp to a power source. It typically consists of a threaded socket that receives the base of the light bulb and a mechanism to make electrical contact with the bulb's terminals. Portalámparas are designed to safely and securely hold the bulb in place and provide the necessary electrical connection for it to illuminate.

There are various types of portalámparas, differing in their base types, intended applications, and electrical specifications. Common base types include Edison screw (E series), bayonet (B series), and pin-type bases, each suited for different bulb designs. The material of the portalámparas is usually ceramic, plastic, or metal, chosen for its insulating properties and durability.

The primary function of a portalámparas is to facilitate the replacement of light bulbs. By providing a standardized connection point, users can easily screw in or insert a new bulb when the old one burns out, without needing to directly interact with electrical wiring. Safety features, such as insulation and secure mounting, are crucial aspects of portalámparas design to prevent electric shock and fire hazards. They are an essential component in virtually all lighting fixtures, from simple desk lamps to complex chandeliers and industrial lighting systems.
