Power Distribution System for LED Lighting

摘要

A wiring and connection management system is disclosed. The system comprises a set of power distribution members that are attached to a substrate and are connected together, forming a power grid to distribute power across the substrate. The members include a number of connectors disposed at regular intervals along their lengths. Corresponding sets of cables and connectors on the substrate convey power from the members to areas on the substrate where power is desired. The substrate may be, for example, a shelving unit. The system provides a robust, flexible source of power that is easily installed with minimal training and is also easily maintained.

主权项

1. A power distribution member, comprising:
a thin, elongate, rectangular, at least semi-rigid printed circuit board (PCB) having power and ground conductors formed on metallization layers thereof, the power and ground conductors spanning substantially the entirety of the length of the PCB; a plurality of connectors mounted directly on one side of the PCB, spaced along its length, each of the plurality of connectors being connected to the power and ground conductors; and attachment structure disposed on a second side of the PCB.
