Das in den Sockel 2 zurückgeführte Ende der aus dem sockelfernen Ende des Entladungsgefäßes 11 herausragenden äußeren Stromzuführung 16 erstreckt sich in den hohlzylindrischen Steg 218, der ebenfalls an dem Sockelaußenteil 21 angeformt ist. Weitere hohlzylindrische Stege 219 dienen zur Befestigung des Deckels 22 und zur Befestigung der Anschlussbuchse 40, die den elektrischen Anschluss der Hochdruckentladungslampe bildet. Das Ende des Steges 218 ist mit einer Auflagefläche 2181 für eine Montageplatine 50, deren Form passgerecht auf den Querschnitt der zweiten Kammer 215 abgestimmt ist, ausgestattet. Die Montageplatine 50 verschließt nach ihrer Montage die Kammer 215. Die auf der Montageplatine 50 angeordneten Bauteile, wie zum Beispiel der Zündkondensator 61 und die Funkenstrecke 62 der Impulszündvorrichtung, ragen in die zweite Kammer 215 hinein. In den Seitenwänden 2151, 213 der ersten Kammer 214 sind mehrere Nuten 2142, 2131 für die Führungsstege 1011, 1012 und Noppen 1013 des Stabkemtransformators 1000 angeordnet. Diese Nuten 2142, 2131 sind passgerecht auf Führungsstege 1011, 1012 bzw. auf die Noppen 1013 am Gehäuse 1010 des Stabkerntransformators 1010 abgestimmt, so dass die Position des Stabkerntransformators 1000 in der ersten Kammer 214 dadurch festgelegt ist. Zusätzlich befindet sich in dem Boden 2143 der Kammer 214 eine Noppe 2144, die zusammen mit dem ersten Ende 31 des Kontaktelementes und dem darauf aufsitzenden Zündspannungsausgang 1030 des Transformators 1000 die Einbautiefe des Stabkerntransformators 1000 bestimmt. Der Zündspannungsausgang 1030 des Stabkerntransformators ist mit diesem Ende 31 verschweißt. Die Enden 1021, 1022 der Primärwicklung 1020 sind jeweils abgewinkelt und mit einer Leiterbahn der Montageplatine 50 verbunden. Das Gehäuse 1010 des Stabkerntransformators 1000 sitzt auf der als Abstandshalter dienenden Noppe 2144 auf. Der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Stabkerntransformator 1000 und den Seitenwänden 2151, 213 der ersten Kammer 214 wird mit einer elektrisch isolierenden Vergussmasse ausgefüllt. Die Vergussmasse dringt durch die Entlüftungsöffnungen 1014, 1015 auch in den Innenraum des Transformatorgehäuses 1010 ein. Der Deckel 22 deckt die Montageplatine 50 ab und verschließt beide Kammern 214, 215 des Sockelaußenteils 21.The base
