Method and apparatus for flexible mounting of light emitting devices

摘要

LED mounting arrangements are described which provide flexibility for LED users to mount a first LED having different physical, electrical, thermal, or other characteristic footprints from those for a second LED on a mounting pad designed for the second LED. With such arrangements, migration from one LED to another can be facilitated without the need for redesigning the printed circuit board for a lighting application. Flexibility is thereby provided to LED customers.
