Abstract

A lighting module may include a housing having an open rear side, a light source substrate with at least one light source arranged thereon, a driver circuit board accommodated in the housing, at least one electrical connection element for electrically connecting the driver circuit board to the light source substrate, and a closure element for closing the open rear side, wherein the closure element is designed for feeding through at least one electrical connection.

Claims (47)

1. A lighting module, comprising:

a housing having an open rear side,

a light source substrate with at least one light source arranged thereon,

a driver circuit board accommodated in the housing,

at least one electrical connection element for electrically connecting the driver circuit board to the light source substrate, and

a closure element for closing the open rear side, wherein the closure element is designed for feeding through at least one electrical connection,

wherein the at least one electrical connection element comprises at least two electrically conductive pins,

wherein

the light source substrate is arranged outside the housing,

the housing is electrically conductive,

the housing has at least one cutout through which the electrical connection elements are led, and

the electrical connection elements are surrounded by an electrical insulation at least in a portion led through the housing.

2. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pins are fixed to the driver circuit board in a caulked manner.

3. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closure element has at its side edge at least one fixing element which can be brought into engagement with at least one fixing mating element arranged on an inner wall of the housing.

4. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driver circuit board is potted in the housing.

5. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light source substrate is a ceramic substrate.

6. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pins are fixed to the driver circuit board in cold-caulked manner.

7. A lighting module, comprising:

a housing having an open rear side,

a light source substrate with at least one light source arranged thereon,

a driver circuit board accommodated in the housing,

at least one electrical connection element for electrically connecting the driver circuit board to the light source substrate, and

a closure element for closing the open rear side, wherein the closure element is designed for feeding through at least one electrical connection,

wherein

the closure element for feeding through at least one electrical connection has at least one plated-through hole, and

the driver circuit board has at least one spring contact for making electrical contact with a plated-through hole of the closure element.

8. The lighting module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one plated-through hole of the closure element is configured in a rotationally symmetrical fashion.

9. The lighting module as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one plated-through hole is configured in a ring-shaped fashion.

10. The lighting module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the closure element for feeding through at least one electrical connection has a cable channel.

11. The lighting module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one spring contact is spring contact pin.

12. The lighting module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the closure element for feeding through at least one electrical connection has a central cable channel.

13. A lighting module, comprising:

a housing having an open rear side,

a light source substrate with at least one light source arranged thereon,

a driver circuit board accommodated in the housing,

at least one electrical connection element for electrically connecting the driver circuit board to the light source substrate, and

a closure element for closing the open rear side, wherein the closure element is designed for feeding through at least one electrical connection,

wherein the housing has a thread on a lateral outer side.

14. A lighting module, comprising:

a housing having an open rear side,

a light source substrate with at least one light source arranged thereon,

a driver circuit board accommodated in the housing,

at least one electrical connection element for electrically connecting the driver circuit board to the light source substrate, and

a closure element for closing the open rear side, wherein the closure element is designed for feeding through at least one electrical connection,

wherein

the housing has a hollow-cylindrical basic shape with a closed front side, and

at least the driver circuit board and the closure element have a circular-disk-shaped basic shape and are aligned parallel to one another.
