Rewiring a table lamp
I am trying to rewire a table lamp, and I have to install a new socket. The on eI have is a dimmer socket. There is the silver terminal for the neutral, but the brass terminal has no screw and looks like a transistor. How do I attach the hot wire to this?

Does the instructions give any sugguestions how this could be done? how was the other one done before you removed it?

Part of the problem is that I cannot picture what you have. so it is difficult to make sugguestions blindly. There are different ways it can be done for example an insulated butt-spilce could be used if there were room for it and it did not prevent the fixture from being put together properly. The same could also be said for a wire nut. If there is limited room then maybe solder would be in order.
