Satco 80-1590 Porcelain Socket

Threaded G-9 Porcelain Lamp Socket by Satco

The 80-1590 from Satco is a threaded G-9 porcelain socket with 72-inch leads and a ring, designed for lamp and fixture assembly or repair. It is a component for use inside lighting products. Key features include a 660-watt, 250-volt rating and a 3/4-inch diameter.

Key Features and Benefits of This Porcelain Socket

Porcelain is a heat-resistant material, which suits halogen lamps that run hot. The 660-watt, 250-volt rating leaves room for higher-wattage halogen bulbs. The 72-inch leads reduce the need to splice extra wire, and the included ring helps secure the socket in a fixture.

Where to Use the 80-1590 Porcelain Socket

This socket is intended for building or replacing sockets in halogen lighting fixtures that use a G-9 lamp base. It is a component rather than a finished light, so it is not for standalone use. The page does not list a location rating, so use it indoors unless confirmed otherwise.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm that your lamp uses a G-9 base and that its wattage stays under 660 watts. Check that the 3/4-inch diameter and the inside extrusion fit your fixture. The leads are described as UL 10362, and installation should follow the electrical code by a qualified person.

Additional Buying Context

Listing details come from distributors, since the Lumenco page gives only the diameter. Only the lead wire is described as UL 10362, and no socket certification or warranty is stated. Request the specification sheet if you need dimensions or approvals for a project.
