Abstract
An assembly includes a conductive heat sink, a heat generating device, such as a light emitting diode, mounted on the heat sink, a pair of pins which extend through channels provided through the heat sink, and a pair of sleeves which at least partially surrounds the pins to electrically isolate the pins from the heat sink. The assembly can be used to form a lightbulb.
Claims24
An assembly comprising:
- a conductive heat sink with a first surface and a second surface, the heat sink including a first channel extending from the first surface to the second surface and a second channel extending from the first surface to the second surface;
- a solid state lighting (SSL) engine mounted on the first surface;
- and
- a first conductive pin extending through the first channel and electrically coupled to the SSL engine;
- a first dielectric sleeve which at least partially surrounds the first pin for electrically isolating the first pin from the conductive heat sink;
- a second pin extending through the second channel and electrically coupled to the heat generating device;
- and
- a second dielectric sleeve which at least partially surrounds the second pin for electrically isolating the second pin from the conductive heat sink.
