Method of making RGB spa light using light emitting diodes
View Patent ↗A method for forming a protective jacket over a connection region includes connecting the leads of an electronic device to conductors such that the connections are in a connection region, placing the connection region in a mold, injecting molten protective material into the mold to cover the connection region, allowing the molten material to cool and harden and removing the connection area from the mold.
1. A method for forming a protective jacket over a connection region, comprising:
connecting a lead of an electronic device to a conductor, with said connection being in a connection region;
covering said connection with a shrink tube;
placing said connection region in a mold;
injecting molten protective material into said mold to cover said connection region;
allowing said molten material to cool and harden, thereby forming a protective jacket over said connection region; and
removing said connection region from said mold;
wherein said protective jacket allows for control over the diameter of the connection region.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said electronic device is an RGB LED unit.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said molten protective material is a plastic.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said molten protective material is polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said molten protective material is at a temperature such that it does not damage said connection region.
