ABSTRACT 

Lighting system problem in the form of melting car light socket is a problem that often occurs in used cars. The causes of the socket melting are due to improper installation and the material from which it is made that melts easily. This research aims to find a new material for car light sockets using the hot wire method testing standard. The research method used was observing various literature and carrying out experiments. Researchers made 3 specimen samples from a mixture of pineapple leaf fiber, resin epoxy-hardener, and Na2SiO3 which were tested twice. Based on the experiment, the results of thermal conductivity values ​​can be influenced by the voids contained in the specimen. The conclusion of this research that the best specimen used as material for making car light sockets is specimen 1, with an average thermal conductivity value of 0.2233 W/mK and a composition ratio of 15: 7.5: 1: 3.75.

Keywords: Composite, pineapple fiber, thermal conductivity, socket, catalyst.
