Satco 80-2049 Round Halogen Socket

Round Porcelain Halogen Socket by Satco

The 80-2049 from Satco is a round porcelain halogen socket designed for G4, GX5.3, and GY6.35 bi-pin lamps. It is suitable for fixture assembly and replacement in low-voltage halogen applications. Key features include 12-inch SF-1 leads and a compact 11/16-inch diameter.

Key Features and Benefits of This Halogen Socket

The 12-inch leads come attached, so you can connect the socket without sourcing separate wire. Porcelain construction is commonly chosen for sockets in halogen lamps, which run hot. The small 3/8-inch height and 11/16-inch diameter help it fit into tight fixture bodies.

Where to Use the 80-2049 Halogen Socket

This socket is well suited for building or repairing small halogen fixtures, accent lights, and decorative lamps that use bi-pin G4-style bulbs. The sources checked do not state a location rating or certification, so do not assume it is approved for damp or wet areas.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm that your bulb uses a G4, GX5.3, or GY6.35 bi-pin base. A retailer lists 250 volts AC and 750 watts, so verify these against your lamp and transformer. Check the 11/16-inch diameter against your fixture opening, and use a qualified installer for hardwired work.

Additional Buying Context

The Lumenco page links a specification sheet but lists few details itself, so base, size, and lead length come from an authorized retailer listing. If your lamp uses a different base type, look for a socket made for that base instead.
