Three white porcelain snap-in light sockets in a pack

MIDWEST FASTENER CORP

MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 77843 Medium Base Porcelain Shallow Back Snap-In Sockets 3PK

SKU CH-QH1R-46A7K

Three medium-base porcelain snap-in sockets with shallow backs for electrical connections

  • Medium base fits standard fixtures
  • Porcelain body resists heat and wear
  • Shallow back suits tight junction boxes
  • Snap-in design speeds installation
  • Three sockets per pack for multiple jobs

Medium Base Porcelain Sockets

This three-pack of MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 77843 sockets provides medium-base porcelain connectors with a shallow-back design for snap-in mounting. They accept standard medium-base plugs and are intended for general electrical installations where a compact, snap-fit socket is required.

Snap-In Mounting Limits

The shallow-back form factor restricts use to panels or fixtures that accommodate the snap-in retention method and the reduced depth behind the mounting surface. Wiring access is limited to the space available in the shallow cavity, so conduit or cable entries must suit the compact profile.

Three-Pack Capacity

The pack supplies three identical sockets, covering installations that need a small number of medium-base connection points. Larger projects requiring more than three sockets or a deeper back box for additional wiring room will need additional packs or a different socket style.

Questions about this item

How do I choose among the versions of the 77843 snap-in socket?

This item is sold as a single three-pack of identical medium-base porcelain sockets; there are no alternate versions or capacities to select.

What does the medium-base porcelain construction mean once the socket is installed in a fixture?

The porcelain body resists heat from incandescent bulbs and the shallow back design fits tight junction boxes, while the snap-in tabs secure the socket without separate mounting hardware.

What interface does the 77843 use and what does it limit in practice?

The socket uses a standard medium screw base that accepts common household bulbs, and the snap-in mounting method limits installation to panels or boxes with the correct cut-out dimensions.
