Abstract

Systems and methods for assembling an LED connector board wherein the assembly can be provided with a metal track with an integrated recess for receiving an injection molded base, onto which a set of leaf spring connectors with extended insulating bosses for electrical wires can be secured.

Claims (16)

1. A system for assembling an LED connector board, comprising:

a set of connectors made out of an electrically conductive material for connecting electrical wires to an LED board,

an injection molded base to which the set of connectors is attached, and

a metal track with an integrated recess for accommodating the injection molded base and upon which the LED connector board can be attached;

wherein the injection molded base is a three-dimensional rectangle with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a curved side of a minimal height between the top and bottom surfaces with a set of curved wings extended from the lengthwise sides of the rectangle.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the set of connectors is a leaf spring connector with a set of raised springs on two ends of the connectors.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the set of connectors has at least one wire opening through which one or more electrical wires can pass.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the set of connectors is made out of gold plated copper.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the set of connectors is secured to the injection molded base via a plurality of posts made out of thermoplastic material.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the LED board injection molded base is a three-dimensional rectangle with a top surface, a bottom surface, and two lengthwise sides and two widthwise sides with a minimal height.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wings are curved upwards away from the top surface of the injection molded base.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the injection molded base has one or more insulating bosses through which electrical wires can be passed.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the integrated recess on the metal track has the same shape and dimensions as the injection molded base such as the base can be securely fitted within the integrated recess.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the integrated recess has a hole centered in the recess for securing the injection molded base to the integrated recess.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the integrated recess has one or more wire openings through which one or more electrical wires can pass.

12. The system of claim 6 , wherein the injection molded base has a circular notch on each of the widthwise sides wherein the notch is aligned with the securing hole in the integrated recess of the metal track for securing the injection molded base and the metal track.
