Abstract

Various embodiments may relate to a lighting module, including a first printed circuit board, on which at least one light source is arranged, a covering element, which at least partially covers the first printed circuit board, and a second printed circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged, wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened to the covering element and is electrically connected to the first printed circuit board.

Claims (39)

1. A lighting module, comprising:

a first printed circuit board, on which at least one light source is arranged,

a covering element, which partially covers the first printed circuit board, leaving a portion thereof exposed, and

a second printed circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged,

wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened to the covering element and is directly attached and electrically connected to the first printed circuit board for fixing each other; and

wherein the covering element is connected fixedly and directly to the first printed circuit board.

2. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board has a flexible printed circuit board.

3. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board is electrically connected to the first printed circuit board by a welded connection or a soldered connection.

4. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board has a first connection lug for electrically connecting the second printed circuit board to the first printed circuit board.

5. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board has a second connection lug, on which a mains connection is arranged.

6. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one electronic component is a surface-mounted component.

7. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened on the covering element by a welded connection, an adhesive connection and/or a latch-in connection.

8. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic component is a capacitor.

9. The lighting module as claimed in claim 8 ,

wherein the electronic component in the form of a capacitor is formed from a ceramic material.

10. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the covering element is connected directly and detachably to the first printed circuit board.

11. The lighting module as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the light source is a light-emitting diode.

12. A lighting module, comprising:

a first printed circuit board, on which at least one light source is arranged,

a covering element having an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface, and

a second printed circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged,

wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened to the covering element and is directly attached and electrically connected to the first printed circuit board for fixing each other; and

wherein the covering element is connected fixedly and directly to the first printed circuit board by at least one of a form-fitting connection, a force-fitting connection and a cohesive connection.

13. A lighting module, comprising:

a first printed circuit board having first portion and second portion,

a covering element, which covers the first portion of the first printed circuit board, and

a second printed circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged,

wherein the second printed circuit board has a through-opening which is formed in the region of the second portion of the first printed circuit board;

wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened to the covering element and is directly attached and electrically connected to the first printed circuit board for fixing each other; and

wherein at least one light source is arranged on the second portion of the first printed circuit board.
