<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an LED lighting assembly which is efficiently supplied with electric power. <P>SOLUTION: The lighting assembly (104) for a light-emitting diode (LED) package (114) having an LED chip on the top of a mounting substrate with power leads on the top of the mounting substrate arranged proximate to a first edge of the mounting substrate, which is mounted to a base (112), includes power contacts that forms separable interfaces for contacting the power leads on the mating substrate of the LED package (114) and supplying power to the LED chip. The power contacts have compliant beams extending to the separable interfaces that are deflected when contacting the power leads such that the power contacts are biased against the power leads. The power contacts are connected to corresponding power conductors (106) opposite the separable interfaces. The lighting assembly also includes a dielectric housing holding the power contacts, the housing having mounting features for securing the housing to the base independent of the LED package. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
