Connector assembly for use with halogen lamps

摘要

Polymeric connectors suitable for use in halogen lamp displays are provided. These connectors include various means for improving their reliability and heat dissipation. In specific embodiments, the electrical conductors of the connector assembly are extended beyond a polymeric connector insulator to provide convective air cooling. In other embodiments, high temperature polymers are provided which improve the heat deflection temperature of the polymeric connector insulator. Additionally, better electrical connections are made possible by more closely managed receiving cavities for lamp leads and the like.
