Abstract
An electrical contact, a 3D LED and a method of manufacturing 3D LEDs are described. The electrical contact includes a printed circuit board (PCB) bridge and a PCB connector. The PCB bridge comprises at least one electrical contact. The at least one electrical contact is configured for electrical coupling with at least one interposer of a string of LEDs. The PCB connector is electrically coupled to the PCB bridge. The PCB connector comprises an electrical contact configured for electrical coupling with at least one external electrical wire.
Claims6
An electrical contact comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) bridge comprising:
- a top surface,
- a bottom surface opposite the top surface,
- at least one first bridge electrical contact, on the bottom surface of the PCB bridge, configured for electrical coupling with at least one interposer of a string of LEDs, and
- at least one second bridge electrical contact on the top surface of the PCB bridge;
- and
- a PCB connector comprising:
- a top surface,
- a bottom surface opposite the top surface,
- a plurality of side surfaces,
- a solder pad on at least one of the side surfaces of the PCB connector, the solder pad extending at least to the bottom surface of the PCB connector, and
- at least one opening for receiving at least one external wire,
- wherein the solder pad on the at one of the side surfaces of the PCB connector is electrically and mechanically coupled to the at least one second bridge electrical contact.
