Module for an LED lamp that allows for two different types of connections to power with sufficient heat dissipation capacity
This invention is a device or module with a LED-type lamp of compact dimensions in order to be used in different illumination industries, such as the automobile, signaling or architectonic industries. The module includes elements for its easy and fast attachment, an efficient manufacturing as from a single plate and structures for the structural support and for heat diffusion. It can be directly attached in an application or in an insulation material support. Likewise, it has two different types of connections that may be used independently or jointly depending on the application.
1. A LED lamp module comprising:
a) a base,
b) a cathode comprising:
(i) two insulation displacement connections each comprising:
a flat surface portion having a proximal edge adjacent to the base and a distal edge distal to the base; and
a connecting portion extending from the distal edge of the flat surface portion toward the base to provide an connection with a conductor cable;
(ii) a terminal;
(iii) a lateral heat diffusion surface; and
(iv) a central heat diffusion surface perpendicular to the lateral heat diffusion surface,
wherein the lateral heat diffusion surface and the central heat diffusion surface are respectively bent in an opposite direction to form a curvature radius and two heat diffusion surfaces separated by the curvature radius, said two heat diffusion surfaces facing each other and forming a s ace between said heat diffusion surfaces so that air flows between said heat diffusion surfaces; and
c) an anode comprising:
(i) two insulation displacement connections each comprising:
a flat surface portion having a proximal edge adjacent to the base and a distal edge distal to the base; and
a connecting portion extending from the distal edge of the flat surface portion toward the base to provide a connection with a conductor cable; and
(ii) a terminal.
2. A LED lamp module according to claim 1 , further comprising a fastener for quick attachment on each of the anode and the cathode.
3. A LED lamp module according to claim 1 , wherein each of the anode and cathode of the module are formed from corresponding metallic plates, in which the terminals and insulation displacement connections, heat diffusion surfaces, and structural reinforcement have been pre-stamped surrounding a flat surface where the LED anode/cathode would be attached, and wherein the anode and cathode from the module are obtained from bending the respective pre-stamped along established bend lines, and once obtained they are attached to the anode and cathode of the LED lamp respectively.
4. A LED lamp module according to claim 1 wherein the anode and cathode are manufactured from one plate-type conductor piece.
5. A LED lamp module according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral and central heat diffusion surfaces of the cathode are placed around the cathode in a rectangular form.
6. A LED lamp module according to claim 2 , wherein the fastener is a clasp-type hook for a quick attachment.
7. A LED lamp module according to claim 1 , wherein the base electrically separates the anode and cathode and offers support for the insulation displacement connections and a through terminal.
8. A LED lamp module according to claim 7 , wherein the base comprises slots which integrate counter-supports for quick-attachment clasps.
9. A LED lamp module according to claim 7 , wherein the base comprises slots over which the lateral and central heat diffusion areas of the LED lamp module are placed.
10. A LED lamp module according to claim 7 , wherein the base further comprises spaces for the placement of cable and serves as a support for the connection of the insulation displacement terminals.
11. A LED lamp module according to claim 7 , wherein the base further comprises lower spaces for the connection of terminals to the LED lamp module.
