LED LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A light emitting diode lighting assembly having a substrate with a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed thereon that is secured to a heat sink. An elongated flat printed circuit board having a plurality of electronic components thereon for driving the light emitting diodes is disposed through the heat sink and electrically connects with the substrate at a first end and has a head portion with grooved conductive elements that engage the threads of a cap screw at a second end in order to provide an electrical connection from the cap screw to the substrate without requiring solder points.

主权项

1. An light emitting diode lighting assembly comprising:
a substrate having a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed thereon and having a socket extending from a side of the substrate opposite the light emitting diodes; a heat sink engaging the substrate such that heat from the substrate is conveyed from the substrate through the heat sink; said heat sink extending from a first end adjacent the substrate to a second end, and having a channel extending from the first end to the second end for receiving the socket such that the socket is disposed through the channel; a printed circuit board having a plurality of electronic components thereon for driving the light emitting diodes disposed on the substrate and having an electrical lead disposed within the socket to provide an electrical connection between the printed circuit board and the substrate; a screw cap for insertion into an electrical socket electrically connected to the printed circuit board by engaging a conductive element of a head portion of the printed circuit board to form a light emitting diode lighting assembly.
