Satco-nuvo 80/1681 Keyless Porcelain Socket

Product Description

The SATCO-NUVO 80/1681 is a keyless porcelain lamp socket designed for use in lighting fixtures that require a durable, heat-resistant lampholder. Built with a spring center contact and a reinforced screw shell, this socket maintains a secure electrical connection under sustained thermal load. The porcelain body handles high temperatures better than thermoplastic alternatives, making it the preferred choice in high-wattage or enclosed-fixture applications. Mounting hardware is included: two 6-32 machine screws and washers ship with the socket. Electricians and lighting maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This socket fits residential and light commercial fixture applications where a keyless lampholder is required and heat buildup is a concern. Typical install scenarios include ceiling fixtures, utility luminaires, trouble lights, and replacement lampholders in porcelain-rated fixtures. The keyless design means there is no switch mechanism — the circuit controls the lamp on and off. The reinforced screw shell reduces the risk of shell deformation during lamp relamping cycles, extending service life in frequently accessed fixtures.

Key Features

• Porcelain body provides superior heat resistance compared to plastic socketing
• Spring center contact ensures consistent electrical connection across lamp base seating variations
• Reinforced screw shell resists deformation during repeated lamp changes
• Keyless configuration — circuit switching controls lamp state, no integrated switch
• Includes two 6-32 mounting screws and washers for direct fixture installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement lampholder for residential and light commercial lighting fixtures requiring a keyless porcelain medium-base socket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify absence of voltage before handling the socket or any wiring connections. Secure mounting screws evenly to avoid cracking the porcelain body — do not overtighten. Confirm the fixture wattage rating does not exceed the socket rating before restoring power.
