A GX6.35 base is a bi-pin lamp base similar to G6.35, but with slight variations in pin length (and often used in higher wattage halogen bulbs in comparison with G6.35).

Key Features of a GX6.35 Base:

  • Bi-Pin Design: Two straight pins for electrical contact.
  • Pin Spacing: 6.35 mm (center-to-center).
  • Pin Diameter: 1.0 mm (same as G6.35).
  • Pin Length: 6.5 - 7.5 mm (G6.35 always has 7.5 mm pins).

How It Differs from G6.35:

  • Pin Length Variation: GX6.35 pins range from 6.5 mm to 7.5 mm, while G6.35 pins are always 7.5 mm.
  • Interchangeability: Some fixtures may require the exact pin length, so GX6.35 may not always fit perfectly in a G6.35 socket.

Common Applications:

  • Halogen and LED bulbs
  • Projectors
  • Industrial and stage lighting
  • Specialized medical and scientific equipment
