This part threads into the fixture’s mounting hood and provides a reliable electrical path from the lamp socket to the fixture unit’s connection block, enabling proper operation of V-51 incandescent luminaires when assembled with the hood, globe, and guard. Manufactured from copper-free aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance, the VAD-2 is specified for use with V-51 luminaires and supports standard V-51 mounting configurations. As part of Appleton’s modular V-51 system, it lets installers reuse the existing mounting hood and globe while integrating the adapter socket into the luminaire assembly, helping streamline servicing and replacement. Typical applications include industrial illumination using Appleton V-51 fixtures in environments where durable aluminum hardware is preferred, such as exposed installations where a robust adapter\/socket is beneficial. This adapter socket is the core interface in the V-51 setup, ensuring a solid mechanical and electrical connection between the mounting hood and the lamp socket within the fixture unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Appleton","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660040569134,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_bde13d0e-93a5-48ac-8775-ed0ec34da71f.jpg?v=1769532173","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/appleton-vad-2-aluminum-fixture-unit-adapter-socket","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
