BEACON WITH ILLUMINATED LEDS ARRAY BOARDS CONNECTED

摘要

A signal lighting beacon for a vehicle has a base and a plurality of LED arrays mounted on the base. the LED arrays are arranged to direct light signals outward in multiple different radial directions. Each LED array has an LED array circuit board having plurality of LEDs and an electrical connector mounted thereon. A common circuit board is connected to each of the plurality of LED arrays by electrical connectors on the common circuit board. The electrical connectors of single-sided LED circuit boards can be substantially identical to the electrical connectors on a single-sided common circuit board disposed at an angle relative to the LED circuit boards. The connectors can be connected to one another by inserting spade terminals into corresponding sockets from the sides of the sockets. The LED arrays can be pivoted relative to the common circuit board without withdrawing the spade terminals from the sockets.

主权项

1. A beacon for a vehicle comprising:
a base configured for mounting on the vehicle; a plurality of LED arrays mounted on the base, each LED array comprising an LED array circuit board extending upwardly from the base, and a plurality of LEDs mounted on the circuit board, and an electrical connector supported by the LED array circuit board and connected to the LEDs, the LED arrays being arranged to direct light signals outward in multiple different radial directions; and a common circuit board connected to each of the plurality of LED arrays, the common circuit board comprising a plurality of electrical connectors supported by the common circuit board and connected to electrical components on the common circuit board, the electrical connectors on the common circuit board being connected to the electrical connectors of the LED arrays so the LEDs are in electrical connection with the electrical components on the common circuit board, wherein the electrical connectors of the LED circuit boards and the common circuit board are substantially identical to one another.
