Is there a name for this lamp holder?

Hi,
I need a replacement lamp holder for a table lamp but can't find one online as I don't know the correct name for this.
It has a threaded entry which screws onto the lamp stand and through which the cable passes.
Just a plastic type will do rather than brass as the cable is just twin core.

Thank you

It will most likely be an E14 or SES (same thing) but it will have to be compatible with the lamp stand thread. Remove it and take it to an electrical wholesaler who should be able to order you one in

Orrrrrr

Get yourself to IKEA and pick up a nice shiny new lamp

Brass is sooooo much better.

It will always unscrew again in the future - plastic won't.

Brass is sooooo much more dangerous if the cable is indeed twin core.

No earth - fitting must be plastic or cable must be replaced.
