AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN LED LIGHT STRIP HAVING AN INTEGRALLY FORMED CONNECTOR |
摘要 |
An integrally formed single piece light strip and light strip manufacturing syst em. The light strip also includes a substrate populated with a plurality of LED ligh t circuits. A plurality of bus elements are spaced apart from one another at a predetermined distance and are in electrical communication with the plurality of light circuits. A plas tic material is extruded around the plurality of light circuits and the substrate to complete ly encapsulates the bus elements and the plurality of light circuits to provide a p rotective housing. In one embodiment, an electrical connector is also integrally formed as part of the light strip to eliminate the need for separate connectors. The light strip i s manufactured in a cost efficient manner, and is impervious to moisture penetrati on, thereby allowing the strip to be used in a variety of applications and environme nts. |
