Abstract
The disclosure concerns a housing for a light source mounted on a substrate, the housing comprising: a barrel having first and second conducting columns; and a diffuser having one or more conductive paths arranged to electrically connect the first and second conducting columns when the diffuser is mounted on the barrel.
Claims19
A housing for a light source mounted on a substrate, the housing comprising:
- a barrel having first and second conducting columns;
- and
- a diffuser having one or more conductive paths on a side surface of the diffuser, the diffuser mounted to the barrel and arranged to electrically couple the first and second conducting columns together by the one or more conductive paths.
An electronic device comprising:
- a substrate;
- a light source coupled to the substrate;
- and
- a housing coupled to the substrate, the housing comprising:
- a housing body having a central through opening and first and second through openings, the light source being located in the central through opening;
- first and second conducting columns in the first and second through openings, respectively, of the housing body;
- one or more conductive paths that electrically couple the first and second conductive columns together;
- and
- a diffuser coupled to the housing body in a mounting position,
- wherein the one or more conductive paths and the diffuser are located in a recess of the housing body.
