A linear LED lamp having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The linear LED lamp has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emitters and a first end cap assembly at the first end of the body. The first end cap assembly has conductive power and ground pins and a support connector has conductive power and ground terminals for connecting with an external power supply and providing a grounding path for components of the lamp. The power and ground pins of the first end cap assembly are configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the support connector as an incident of the first end cap assembly moving relative to the support connector in a path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.

The present invention relates to an electric connector and an illuminating device comprising this electric connector, wherein the electric connector comprises a housing and an end cap connected to the housing, wherein an conductor which can be connected to a power supply is arranged in the end cap, wherein the conductor comprises a stationary part and a movable part, wherein the conductor is rotatable relative to the housing along with the end cap from a first position to a second position, wherein the movable parts at least partially retract into the stationary part in the first position, and at least one movable part extends out of the stationary part in the second position so as to be in electric connection with a power consumption component arranged in the housing.

An electrical contact includes a contact body and a contact spring. The contact spring is disposed in the contact body and has a locking arm locking the contact spring in a housing. The locking arm moves in a vertical direction away from the contact body when a withdrawal force acting on the contact spring exceeds a retaining force of the contact spring.
