A GY6.35 base is a type of bi-pin lamp base commonly used in halogen and LED bulbs for high-intensity lighting applications.

Key Features of a GY6.35 Base:

  • Bi-Pin Design: Two straight pins for electrical contact.
  • Pin Spacing: 6.35 mm (center-to-center).
  • Pin Diameter: 1.25 mm (thicker than G6.35's 1.0 mm).
  • Pin Length: 7.5 mm (same as G6.35).

How It Differs from G6.35:

  • Thicker pins (1.25 mm vs. 1.0 mm) → Provides better electrical contact and stability, especially in high-wattage applications.
  • Not always interchangeable → A GY6.35 bulb may not fit in a G6.35 socket due to the thicker pins.

Common Applications:

  • High-powered halogen and LED bulbs
  • Projectors
  • Medical and dental equipment
  • Stage and studio lighting
  • Industrial and commercial lighting
