Patent Abstract

The arrangement (1) has a contact element (10) arranged in a housing, which is made of an insulating material. An electric conductor guiding to a voltage source is electrically conductively connected to the contact element and a power consumer is electrically conductively connected to the contact element. The contact element has two parts, which are separated from each other and are embedded in a body made of plastic, where the body is arranged in the housing. The parts project from the body that is electrically conductive by the electrically conductive additives. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a lamp holder comprising a plastic base (2) a method for manufacturing a lamp holder.
