Eaton Metal Shell Lampholder Fixture

The Eaton Metal Shell Lampholder Fixture family is designed for professional electrical installations that require a durable, dependable socket fixture, available across models including BP940ABD and BP980ABD. As indicated by the manufacturer designation of Metal Shell Lampholder, these components are built with a metal outer shell construction rather than a molded plastic or thermoplastic housing, making them a solid choice for applications where added mechanical durability is valued. Eaton is a long-established name in the electrical supply industry, and this lampholder line carries that same reputation for building components that electricians and contractors can specify with confidence. Lampholders like these serve as the interface between a light source and the branch circuit wiring, and the metal shell design is a configuration commonly selected for its robust feel and resistance to impact compared to lighter-duty alternatives.

Eaton BP980ABD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a lampholder actually do, and is this the part I need for a dead fixture socket?
A lampholder is the socket itself: it grips the lamp and provides the electrical connection between the lamp and the branch circuit wiring. If the fixture body and wiring are fine but the socket is burned, cracked, or no longer holding the lamp, this is the replacement part. The Eaton metal shell lampholder is sold for exactly that kind of lighting repair and retrofit work.
2) What model numbers does the Eaton metal shell lampholder come in?
Two models: BP940ABD and BP980ABD. Both share the same metal outer shell housing, so order by the model number that matches the fixture configuration you are replacing.
3) Is the Eaton BP940ABD lampholder metal or plastic?
Metal. The shell is a metal outer housing rather than a molded plastic or thermoplastic body, which is why it is picked where the socket takes knocks, as in industrial fixtures or shop and utility lighting, instead of a lighter-duty plastic lampholder.
4) Should I stock BP940ABD or BP980ABD for a fleet of fixtures?
Pick by the fixture configuration you are servicing, since the two models differ in configuration rather than in build. Both are metal shell Eaton lampholders, so standardizing on one model across a property keeps spares interchangeable; if your fixtures are mixed, pull the existing socket and match its model before you buy a case.
5) Can I use the Eaton metal shell lampholder in commercial and industrial fixtures, not just residential?
Yes. The intended uses run to commercial and industrial lighting fixtures, fixture manufacturing and repair, and contractor stock for lighting retrofits. The metal shell is the configuration chosen for those jobs over a lighter plastic socket.
