Medium Base Porcelain Sockets
The Midwest Fastener Corp 77851 pack supplies two medium-base porcelain sockets designed for recess mounting. They accept standard medium-base lamps and deliver current through the matching plug interface. Electrical contractors and DIY installers use them when replacing or adding fixtures in residential or light-commercial wiring. The porcelain body resists heat from the lamp base during normal operation.
Two-Pack Capacity and Fit
The two-pack quantity covers a single fixture replacement or a small project requiring a pair of matching sockets. Each unit handles the current rating defined for medium-base lampholders in the applicable electrical code. The recess-mount format limits use to boxes or housings that accept this mounting style; surface-mount or specialty-base applications are not served by this product.
Heat Resistance and Power Draw
Porcelain construction provides high thermal stability under the continuous load of an inserted lamp. The material does not deform or carbonise at typical lamp operating temperatures. No moving parts or active cooling are present, so the sockets operate silently. Power draw is determined entirely by the lamp installed; the socket itself adds no measurable loss.
