Conductive elements receiving electrical power from the power cord and delivering electrical power to the circuit board include an insulation-displacing portion and a recess receiving at least a portion of the power cord and including a retaining barb or hook. An adhesive tape or strip is disposed over at least one overmolding opening to prevent water ingress to the circuit board. | 09-25-2008 |
20090021936 | LINEAR LED ILLUMINATION SYSTEM - A linear LED light module and system includes a heat sink, a printed circuit board, a plurality of LEDs, a power supply housing, a flexible electrical conductor, a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, and a power supply. The heat sink is elongated in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis that is parallel with a greatest dimension of the heat sink. The PCB is in thermal communication with the heat sink and includes circuitry. The plurality of LEDs mount to the PCB and are in electrical communication with the circuitry of the PCB. The power supply housing connects to the heat sink. The flexible electrical conductor includes at least two wires that are configured to accommodate an AC line voltage of at least 120 VAC. The first electrical connector is at a first end of the electrical conductor. The second electrical connector is at a second end of the electrical conductor. The second connector has a configuration that complements the first connector so that the second connector can connect to an associated adjacent first connector of an associated adjacent LED module to allow a plurality of similar LED modules to be mechanically and electrically connected to one another. The power supply is disposed in the power supply housing and in electrical communication with the circuitry of the PCB and the electrical conductor. The power supply is configured to receive the AC line voltage from the electrical conductor and to convert the received AC line voltage to a lower DC voltage for delivery to the circuitry of the PCB to drive the LEDs mounted on the PCB. | 01-22-2009 |
